Nov. 2, 2022 – When it comes to opioid outpatient treatment, the highest rate per 100,000 population is greatest in Manhattan and the Bronx, and there are estimated 30,000-plus methadone patients in New York City, according to state data. The Bronx has 11 methadone clinics sited throughout the borough — the highest of any of the NYC boroughs.
In March 2020, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration loosened restrictions on take-home doses of methadone, as patients who met certain criteria could be classified as “stable” and could be eligible to take home either 14 or 28 days of medication.
Methadone is a powerful drug used for pain relief and treatment of drug addiction, and many of the city’s methadone clinics and services are located in the Bronx and Harlem.
