COVID-19大流行迫切需要通过远程医疗扩大获得药物使用障碍治疗的机会。长期采用远程SUD治疗方案可以积极改变SUD治疗的未来。我们确定了四个步骤，这些步骤将有助于确保向远程保健的更广泛过渡将成功地改善sud患者的健康结果。这些步骤是：(1)投资于远程保健基础设施，使保健提供者和患者能够使用远程保健；(2)培训和装备供应商，通过远程医疗提供SUD治疗；(3)为患者提供使用远程医疗所需的财政和社会支持、硬件和培训；(4)使远程保健法律法规的临时修改永久化。我们认为，这四个步骤对于为许多尚未接受SUD治疗的人启动SUD治疗至关重要，对于在大流行期间和之后保持数百万其他患者SUD治疗的连续性至关重要。
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need to expand access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment through telehealth. A more permanent adoption of tele-SUD treatment options could positively alter the future of SUD treatment. We identify four steps that will help to ensure a broader transition to telehealth will be successful in improving the health outcomes of patients with SUDs. These steps are: (1) investing in telehealth infrastructure to enable health care providers and patients to use telehealth; (2) training and equipping providers to provide SUD treatment through telehealth; (3) providing patients with the financial and social support, hardware, and training necessary to use telehealth; (4) making temporary changes to telehealth law and regulation permanent. We believe these four steps will be critical to initiating SUD treatment for many persons that have yet to receive it, and for preserving SUD treatment continuity for millions of other patients both during and after the pandemic.
