L’objectif

To understand patient experience of federal regulatory changes governing methadone and buprenorphine (MOUD) access in Arizona during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Constatations/points à retenir

MOUD patients in Arizona were not offered many of the federally allowed flexibilities for access that were designed to reduce their need to be at the clinic. All participants expressed that daily clinic visits interrupted their work and home lives and desired more take-home dosing and home delivery options.
