Medication Treatment and Resources for Opioid Use Disorder Among Rural Communities

In a recent article from Addiction Science and Clinical Practice, it explores the future utility of telemedicine and whether it will be the answer to rural expansion of medication treatment for opioid use disorder. With the immediate need for remote aid due to COVID-19, many health care systems rapidly incorporated digital technologies to handle the demand for remote care options.

Rural communities are typically affected to a greater extent during an increased demand and/or biomedical crises based on their remote geographical positioning. This could make it difficult for individuals in rural communities to gain access to the same quality care and resources that are available elsewhere.

With the expansion of new telemedicine technologies and over-the-counter resources that can be delivered directly to your door, this can be a productive step-forward to help increase the quality of life for those in rural communities. To access the complete article, follow the link below.
