联邦、州和地方政府机构需要公共资助的药物滥用治疗项目的当前和准确的成本信息，以指导项目评估和报销决策。药物滥用治疗中心于2002年为此目的公布了一份特定方式费用范围清单。然而，这些范围的上限和下限太宽，以至于它们对供资机构几乎没有实际指导意义。因此，本次调查的双重目的是从现有文献中收集最新和最全面的经济成本估计数，然后使用这些估计数来制定更新的特定模式成本范围，以制定更合理的报销政策。虽然对某些模式的成本估计很少，但建议的成本范围是基于现有的最佳经济研究，我们认为，这些新的范围对公共资助的药物治疗的所有利益攸关方都更有用和相关。(C)2008年Eisevier Inc.

Federal, state, and local government agencies require Current and accurate cost information for publicly funded substance abuse treatment programs 10 guide program assessments and reimbursement decisions. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment published a list of modality-specific cost bands for this purpose in 2002. However, the upper and lower values in these ranges are so wide that they offer little practical guidance for funding agencies. Thus, the dual purpose of this investigation was to assemble the most current and comprehensive set of economic cost estimates from the readily available literature and then use these estimates to develop updated modality-specific cost bands for more reasonable reimbursement policies. Although cost estimates were scant for some modalities, the recommended cost bands arc based on the best available economic research, and we believe that these new ranges will be more useful to and pertinent for all stakeholders of publicly funded substance those treatment.
