Opioid treatment network Behavioral Health Group suffered a cyberattack that led to an almost week-long disruption of IT systems and patient care.

Behavioral Health Group (BHG) is one of the largest networks of outpatient opioid treatment centers in the USA, with over 80 clinics throughout seventeen states.

Last week, BHG suffered a cyberattack that forced them to shut down portions of their IT network to prevent the attack's spread.

This computer outage caused issues at some clinics, preventing patients from receiving their normally prescribed take-home doses of methadone or suboxone, used to treat narcotics addiction.

Patients starting a treatment plan for opioid addiction receive their doses at a clinic. However, patients in a stable treatment plan can receive take-home doses for in-home usage.
