Individual and social network correlates of recent treatment for substance use disorders among persons who use drugs in Baltimore, MD (2014 - 2017).

ABSTRACT:

Background

This analysis examined individual and network correlates of treatment enrollment for substance use disorders (SUDs) in the past 6 months and whether these factors varied by type(s) of drug(s) used and type of SUD treatment received.

Methods

The primary outcome was recent enrollment in any type of SUD treatment (i.e., methadone maintenance, detox, residential, outpatient, and meetings/self-help) vs. none. Using logistic regression, recent SUD treatment enrollment was regressed on individual and network characteristic
