L’objectif

To better understand the impact of the pandemic on medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) services in the U.S. and Canada, this scoping review summarizes and synthesizes the existing literature.

Constatations/points à retenir

Common themes among the articles that met inclusion included the impacts of MOUD policy changes; the transition to telehealth; challenges to providing MOUD; innovative changes to services; and recommendations for policy and service changes. Many articles supported MOUD regulatory changes, with some finding these changes had increased access to MOUD for underserved populations.
