To evaluate the effects of the SAMSHA exemption on methadone adherence and OUD-related outcomes.
Constatations/points à retenir
Despite a near-doubling of take-home methadone doses during the COVID-19 exemption period, the increase in take-home doses was not associated with negative treatment outcomes in methadone-adherent clients.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
A convenience sample of 183 clients (58% female) were recruited from a methadone clinic in the fall of 2019 for a cross-sectional survey.
