L’objectif

To investigate administration patterns and results of urine drug screening (UDS) to assess feasibility of UDS and patient outcomes in a telehealth-based opioid treatment (TBOT) setting.

Constatations/points à retenir

In this cohort study of patients with opioid use disorder receiving buprenorphine in a remote care environment, UDS was highly feasible, though early UDS completion rates varied across demographic subgroups. The prevalence of unexpected UDS results was low and declined over time in treatment.
