Crisis and austerity in Greece could have influenced the risk of burnout among substance use disorder treatment providers. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors among Greek substance use disorder treatment providers during economic crisis. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. In particular, employees at the substance use treatment program of Athens (n = 180), a branch of the Greek Organization against Drugs were invited to participate. Almost all participants reported medical supplies shortages related to the economic crisis. Increasing job demands, staff reduction and limited job autonomy were independent risk factors for burnout. These factors are crisis-related. In conclusion, we found high rates of burnout among substance abuse treatment personnel in Greece. These respondents are a bellwether of the effects of economic crisis. Economic crisis can produce a profound negative effect on health care. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
