On a snapshot day in 2010 there were 46,078 clients who received pharmacotherapy for opioid dependence, of which almost two in three were male. This was an overall increase of just over 2,600 clients since 2009. This was accompanied by a rise in the number of prescribers from 1,435 in 2009 to 1,449 in 2010, with the majority of prescribers in 2010 being private prescribers (80%). Consistent with previous years, in 2010 methadone accounted for close to seven in 10 clients' pharmacotherapy type, with the remaining three in 10 clients receiving either buprenorphine or buprenorphine-naloxone.
