Résumé

In 2016 only 13.8 percent of substance use disorder treatment programs offered medication treatment for opioid use disorder for older adults who used Medicare to pay for treatment. With increasing demand for treatment among older adults and a rapidly aging population, improved access to medication treatment for this population is needed.
