This analysis compares methadone treatment options for Veterans, highlighting policy implications for access and costs.
An important option for expanding Veterans' access to M-MOUD is through CC. In this group of Veterans receiving M-MOUD, CC retention was greater and costs were lower. However, CC lacks the walk-in option for same-day access. This signals tradeoffs to consider when assessing the balance between VA and CC and provides methods for comparing VA and CC treatment options.
