Characteristics associated with forced treatment discontinuation among people who use drugs in Rhode Island
Forced treatment discontinuation due to substance use is common, particularly in residential drug treatment. Our findings suggest a need for enhanced access to evidence-based treatments for stimulant use disorders. Persisting racial/ethnic disparities in treatment access underscores the need for strategies to ensure racial and ethnic equity in substance use treatment access and retention in care.
