This annual report presents an overview of the Indiana Opioid Treatment Program for the year 2002 providing information on both treatment programs and patients.
Abstract
In the year 2002, the State of Indiana operated 12 Opioid Treatment Programs both not-for-profit and private, for-profit programs. During this same time period, a total of 8,144 patients were enrolled in the 12 opioid treatment programs with each patient treated with methadone or with levo-alpha-acetylmethadol hydrochloride (LAAM). Since 2001, there was an increase of 1,335 patients and from 1998 to 2002 the total number of patients per year increased by nearly 120 percent (4,440). On average patients paid $2,354.34 for treatment during 2002. A central registry was established which accomplished three things: (1) it enabled treatment centers to maintain their patient’s anonymity; (2) it provided a format compatible to what currently existed in the agencies of two public treatment centers and within the division; and (3) it enabled the division to easily identify if there were any multiple admissions within the State. The report is divided into nine sections which include: (1) number of Indian Opioid treatment programs; (2) number of patients on methadone or LAMM; (3) length of time patients receive methadone or LAAM; (4) costs to patients on methadone or LAAM; (5) rehabilitation rate of patients undergoing methadone or LAAM treatment; (6) number of patients addicted to Methadone; (7) number of rehabilitated patients no longer on methadone or LAMM; (8) number of individuals on a waiting list; and (9) patient information as reported to a central registry.
