Abstract
ABSTRACT Increases in methamphetamine use among individuals seeking treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) have implications for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Secondary data from 28,358 adults (18+) in a multi-year evaluation of publicly funded SUD treatment was analyzed. A significant linear trend showed an increase in opioid and methamphetamine co-use over time. In the multinomial logistic regression, recent co-use of opioids and methamphetamine was significantly associated with being female, younger age, being White, living in a metropolitan community, greater economic hardship, using more substances (other than opioids and methamphetamine) relative to the other drug use patterns. Past-12-month interpersonal victimization was associated with co-use of opioids and methamphetamine relative to individuals who did not use opioids-methamphetamine and individuals who used opioids, no methamphetamine.
