A study by RTI International published in JAMA Network Open reveals significant disparities in Medicaid patient retention rates among opioid treatment programs (OTPs) in the U.S. The research indicates that only 61% of Medicaid patients stay in care beyond the first month, with the bottom 25% of programs retaining just 40%. The study highlights the importance of treatment retention as a predictor of recovery and survival for patients with opioid use disorder. The findings suggest that OTPs can use these benchmarks to identify areas for improvement in patient engagement.
