USA. Regulatory Reform and Policy Initiatives for OTPs in a Post Covid-19 World
On behalf of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (AATOD), which represents over 1,200 Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) throughout the United States, we write this to advocate the need to improve access to comprehensive evidence-based treatment of opioid use disorder in the face of a global pandemic. We work closely with our partners in the World Federation for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (WFTOD), representing over 600 OTPs worldwide. The World Federation represents substance use treatment programs in Europe and works cooperatively with other treatment centers throughout the world. Together with the World Federation, AATOD works with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in disseminating policies and practices to treat opioid use disorder.
