From the mid-1980s to the early 2000s, most substance abuse treatment in the U.S. was provided by specialty centers. These centers offered two main types of care:
• Outpatient care, where patients receive treatment during scheduled visits and do not stay overnight
• Inpatient care, where patients stay at the facility during treatment
In the early to mid-1990s, inpatient programs were seen as too expensive and less cost-effective than outpatient alternatives. As a result, there was a general shift toward outpatient care. Private insurers, in particular, began covering fewer inpatient treatments and focused more on outpatient programs.
During this period, spending on prescription medications for substance abuse remained a small portion of total treatment costs. Few FDA-approved drugs (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is the agency that authorizes medications for use in the United States) were available: disulfiram and naltrexone were already in use for alcohol addiction, and acamprosate was added in 2004. Buprenorphine was FDA-approved in 2002 for opioid addiction. Methadone, another FDA-approved medication for opioid treatment, is not sold through regular pharmacies. Instead, it is administered at treatment centers, and its cost is counted as part of spending on those centers.
