Market Barriers to the Development of Pharmacotherapies for the Treatment of Cocaine Abuse and Addiction: Final Report. Critical Barrier 3: Limited and Uncertain Payment for Pharmacotherapy
Industry decision makers recognize the heavy reliance of the substance abuse market on federal, state, and local government reimbursement.
