Text: All groups benefited from addiction treatment, but veterans with persistent pain were in treatment for an estimated 35. 1 fewer days [95 % confidence interval (CI) = -64. 1, -6. 1, P = 0. 018], less likely to be abstinent from alcohol or drugs at 12 months [odds ratio (OR) (adj) = 0. 52 ; 95 % CI = 0. 30, 0. 89 ; P = 0. 018], had worse ASI alcohol composite scores at 12 months (beta (adj) = 0. 09 ; 95 % CI = 0. 02, 0. 15 ; P = 0. 007), were more likely to be medically hospitalized (OR (adj) = 2. 70 ; 95 % CI = 1. 02, 7. 13 ; P = 0. 046) and had higher total service costs compared to those with low pain ($ 17 766 versus $ 13 261, P = 0. 012).
