Associations between past-year receipt of government assistance, Medicaid, and substance use treatment utilization among adults with substance use disorder in the United States
Aim
Most people who need substance use disorder (SUD) treatment do not receive care, often due to costs and lack of health insurance. We investigated whether receipt of government assistance and Medicaid among people with SUDs was associated with past-year SUD treatment use.
Methods
We included working-age adults (ages 18–64) with any SUD from the 2015–2019 National Survey of Drug Use and Health (n = 21,461). Government assistance was categorized as past-year receipt of ≥1 assistance programs (e.g., SSI, SNAP, welfare, cash assistance). We estimated the adjusted odds of past-year SUD treatment in a) any or b) specialty settings by government assistance or Medicaid receipt using separate logistic regressions among people with past-year SUD. We controlled for socio-demographics (sex, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, poverty, urbanicity, employment, private insurance) and survey-year.
Results
Among people with SUD, approximately 23 % received government assistance and 19.6 % received Medicaid. Receiving both (12 %) was associated with increased adjusted odds of SUD treatment use in any (aOR = 2.30, 95 % CI: 1.78, 2.97) and specialty (aOR = 2.72, 95 % CI: 2.05, 3.62) treatment settings. Receiving assistance from one or more government programs was associated with approximately 50–60 % higher odds of SUD treatment in any setting and 70–90 % higher odds in specialty settings.
Conclusion
Medicaid and government assistance receipt were associated with higher SUD treatment use among people SUD, potentially lowering barriers to treatment access. Receiving at least one government assistance program also increased the likelihood of treatment utilization. Future research should examine which specific government assistance programs may drive associations.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors. The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research. The emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. We are particularly interested in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research. Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged. We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
