HealthDay (7/28) reports, “Researchers examined care given to” veterans “before and after a transition to telehealth visits in early 2020 for treatment of their opioid use disorder,” finding that “the rapid switch to virtual visits for most patients kept people from dropping out of care, and telephone visits [also] played a key role.” The findings were published online July 28 ahead of print in the American Journal of Psychiatry, a publication of the American Psychiatric Association.
