Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment: Acceptability, Feasibility, and Outcomes of a Clinical Pilot Program for Video Observation of Methadone Take-Home Dosing During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that telehealth video observation was an effective method in increasing rates of observed methadone dosing while limiting exposure to respiratory illness and breaking down barriers linked to the face-to-face observation of dosing. Researchers found that video observation of methadone dosing was effective and it provided additional benefits, such as increased patient safety due to limited exposure to COVID-19.
