Abstract

Two New York primary care programs that offer buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) are reporting dramatically reduced wait times and other benefits from temporarily relaxed restrictions allowing initiation to treatment after a telemedicine visit. Leaders of the programs say persons exiting the criminal justice system and clients of syringe services programs have been among the main beneficiaries of an exception that was enacted to maintain access to care for OUD during the COVID‐19 crisis.
