AATOD comments on <i>Times</i> article on Acadia

Last week we wrote about The New York Times Dec. 7 article unfairly lambasting Acadia's opioid treatment programs (see ADAW https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adaw.34349 ). On Dec. 13 the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (AATOD) issued a statement (given below) responding to the story. The statement begins by noting that The Times article “failed to mention how every one of the nation's OTPs must meet detailed and rigorous standards for providing medications and comprehensive treatment services for patients.” It continues.
