Examining Differences Among Opioid Agonist Treatment Clients in Regional and Metropolitan Settings of New South Wales, Australia
Key differences with treatment, substance use, transport and driving were noted within this study. It is evident that regional OAT clients more often rely on motor vehicles to complete daily activities. Such challenges related to OAT should be addressed by informed policy and regulatory changes that ensure access and equity of treatment and safety, regardless of location.
