USA. The New Mobile Methadone Rules And What They Mean For Treatment Access
Mobile narcotic treatment programs (or vans that travel to multiple locations to deliver methadone treatment) are one strategy to increase access to evidence-based treatment for underserved populations and improve treatment retention. These mobile methadone vans could help marginalized populations, including Black people and people of color, access medications for opioid use disorders. Mobile delivery of methadone could also help provide incarcerated persons, people residing in rural communities, or those with transportation difficulties access to methadone treatment that would otherwise be out of reach.
