Abstract
From the “does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?” department: The Office of National Drug Control Policy this year issued a treatment plan calling for mobile vans to dispense buprenorphine and Vivitrol, but not methadone (see “ONDCP issues first ‘treatment plan: Not part of strategy,’” ADAW, Feb. 10; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.32619). But at the end of February, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposed in no uncertain terms the need for mobile methadone (see story, p. 1). The DEA's long‐awaited move will go a long way to increasing access to treatment for opioid use disorder, reducing overdoses and improving health, according to the DEA itself.
