Abstract
Discontinuation of MMT in this urban setting was associated with recent homelessness and incarceration, not accessing social income assistance, as well as daily prescription opioid use and daily heroin injection drug use. These findings underscore a need to reduce potential barriers to MMT retention by providing access to stable housing and preventing treatment interruptions during transitions between community and custodial settings.
