To explore barriers to care and characteristics associated with respondent-reported perceived need for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment and National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)\u2012defined OUD treatment gap. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study using descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine 2015\u20132019 NSDUH data. We included respondents aged 18 years or older with past-year OUD. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Of 1\u2009987\u2009961 adults, 10.5% reported a perceived OUD treatment need, and 71% had a NSDUH-defined treatment gap. There were significant differences in age distribution, health insurance coverage, and past-year mental illness between those with and without a perceived OUD treatment need. Older adults (aged \u2265\u200950 years) and non-White adults were more likely to have a treatment gap compared with younger adults (aged 18\u201349 years) and White adults, respectively. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Fewer than 30% of adults with OUD receive treatment, and only 1 in 10 report a need for treatment, reflecting persistent structural barriers to care and differences in perceived care needs between patients with OUD and the NSDUH-defined treatment gap measure. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Public Health Implications. Public health efforts aimed at broadening access to all forms of OUD treatment and harm reduction should be proactively undertaken.
