L’objectif

In March 2020, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) issued guidance allowing for the expansion of take-home methadone doses. We sought to describe changes to treatment experiences from the perspective of persons receiving methadone at outpatient treatment facilities for OUD.

Constatations/points à retenir

Our study found variation in experiences of take-home dosing by clinic and little diversion of take-home doses.
