Opioid use disorder (OUD) frequently begins in adolescence and young adulthood. Intervening early with pharmacotherapy is recommended by major professional organizations. No prior national studies have examined the extent to which adolescents and young adults (collectively, “youth”) with OUD receive pharmacotherapy. To identify time trends and disparities in receipt of buprenorphine and naltrexone among youth with OUD in the US. Retrospective cohort. Enrollment and complete health insurance claims of 9.7 million youth using de-identified data from Optum, a national commercial insurance database. Youth aged 13–25 years who received a diagnosis of OUD between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2014. Sex, age, race/ethnicity, neighborhood education and poverty levels, metropolitan area, census region, and year of diagnosis. Dispensing of a medication (buprenorphine or naltrexone) within 6 months of first receiving an OUD diagnosis. We identified time trends and used multivariable logistic regression to determine sociodemographic factors associated with medication receipt. Among 20,822 youth diagnosed with OUD (0.2% of the sample), 13,698 (65.8%) were male and 17,119 (82.4%) were non-Hispanic white. Mean age (SD) was 21.0 (2.5) years at first observed diagnosis. The diagnosis rate of OUD increased nearly 6-fold from 2001 to 2014. Overall, 5,580 (26.8%) youth were dispensed a medication within 6 months of diagnosis, with 4,976 (89.2%) of medication-treated youth receiving buprenorphine and 604 (10.8%) receiving naltrexone. Medication receipt increased more than 10-fold from 3.0% in 2002 (when buprenorphine was introduced) to 31.8% in 2009, but declined in subsequent years. In multivariable analyses, younger individuals were less likely to receive medications (adjusted probability for age 13–15 years, 1.4%; 16–17 years, 9.7%; 18–20 years, 22.0%; 21–25 years, 30.5%; p<0.001 for difference). Females (20.3%) were less likely than males (24.4%) to receive medications (p<0.001), as were non-Hispanic black (14.8%) and Hispanic (20.0%) youth compared to non-Hispanic white youth (23.1%; p<0.001). In this first national study of buprenorphine and naltrexone receipt among youth, dispensing increased over time. Nonetheless, only 1 in 4 commercially insured youth with OUD received pharmacotherapy, and disparities based on sex, age, and race/ethnicity were observed.
