Participant Flow

Participants were randomized to methadone, buprenorphine or extended-release naltrexone. Participants were allowed to switch treatment at the time of randomization if they do not want to receive the assigned treatment at randomization. Only one switch was allowed. Participants were analyzed per treatment they have been taking.
