Abstract

Saratoga County has faced an increasing burden of substance use disorder (SUD) in recent years. The Saratoga County Department of Health (DOH) identified transportation as a key barrier to SUD treatment that could be improved through targeted application of opioid settlement funding. To this end, the Saratoga County DOH engaged the Center for Human Services Research (CHSR) to estimate the need for non-emergent medical transportation (NEMT) for residents with SUD in Saratoga County and determine the non-emergent transportation program options available and investigate the pros and cons of each, including the potential costs of program implementation.
