“These are individuals who are choosing care. So individuals are not mandated to be on methadone. They are choosing to be on methadone. They are choosing a life of recovery. They are choosing to give up heroin and fentanyl and other drugs like methamphetamine,” Davis said. “We heard from the provider that 80% of the individuals at the six-month mark are having negative urinalysis testing negative for other narcotics.
