In the absence of treatment, the estimated incidence of overdose in 5 years was 42,717 times per 100,000 people (4132 fatal and 38585 non-fatal) and 12660 deaths.

It is estimated that methadone treatment can explain 10.

In addition, when criminal justice costs are included, all forms of MAT (including buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone) save costs compared to no treatment, saving $25,000 to $105,000 in lifetime costs per person.

When expanding the use of MAT and adding OEND and CM, the cost of OUD morbidity and mortality can be saved.
