Article Description

This project evaluated the service delivery (ie, attendance rate) of a buprenorphine management treatment program and compared patient recovery-related information between service methods. This was a medical record review and cross-sectional comparison of pre–COVID-19 vs post onset of COVID-19 data. In the sample of 28 adults, mean attendance rates did not differ significantly before (99.46%) vs during the pandemic (96.13%; t  = 1.92, P  =.07). Patient participation in therapy before and during the pandemic did differ significantly (χ 2  = 1.98, P  =.03). The use of telemental health services within a BMT program may be a viable option when normal in-person services are disrupted.
