The graphic shows the estimated or reported number of opioid maintenance clients as a proportion of the number of problem opioid users, estimated by various methods, in each country with available data.
The symbol indicates a point estimate, a bar indicates an uncertainty interval.
Based on countries' estimates of problem opiate use (POU), estimates or estimates of problem drug use and injecting drug use, where case definitions in the country's estimates correspond to POU.
See the data on number of clients in substitution treatment in Table HSR-3 part (i) .
The problem opioid use estimates can be found in Table PDU-1 part (iii) and Figure PDU-1.
