USA. SAMHSA Extends the Methadone Take-Home Flexibility for One Year While Working Toward a Permanent Solution
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is extending the methadone take-home flexibilities for one year, effective upon the eventual expiration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. This exemption is a continuation of the take-home medication flexibilities that SAMHSA put in place in March 2020 and is in keeping with the newly announced Health and Human Services (HHS) Overdose Prevention Strategy. SAMHSA is also considering mechanisms to make this flexibility permanent. (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), USA, 18.11.2021)
