The research institution polled a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults on their opinions about opioid use disorder treatments between July 26-28.
Three survey findings:
1. Only 17 percent of respondents said going “cold turkey” was an effective treatment for opioid use disorder.
2. Eighty-nine percent of respondents said they thought nonmedical services would help someone with opioid use disorder stay in treatment.
3. Nearly 70 percent of respondents did not know whether their state or local government offered free treatment services, or whether their insurance would cover treatment.
