Modern Healthcare: Roughly only one-third of patients who experienced non-fatal opioid overdose were prescribed some form of medication-assisted treatment, according a new study.
Experts say that's causing thousands of people to miss out on a treatment that's proven to reduce the rate of death from overdose.
The findings were published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, which looked at the outcomes of more than 17,000 Massachusetts adults who survived an opioid overdose between 2012 and 2014.
