Study: 4.6 percent of Massachusetts residents have opioid use disorder. A recent study estimates that more than 275,000 people -- or 4.6 percent of people over the age of 11 in Massachusetts -- have opioid use disorder, a figure nearly four times higher than previous estimates based on national data.
