Increased flexibility in methadone take-home scheduling during the COVID-19 pandemic: Should this practice be incorporated into routine clinical care?

Abstract:

:In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of emergency that the government of Spain declared, the rapid adaptation of health services is of paramount importance to preserve access to and continuity of service delivery. This research note underscores the importance of ensuring a sufficient quantity of methadone take-home doses for patients on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) to maximize their adherence to government-imposed lockdown restrictions and social distancing measures designed to curtail the spread of SARS-CoV-2. We evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on take-home medication (number of days provided) in a methadone clinic in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). This work conveys that we should consider maintaining the take-home practices that we adopted in response to the pandemic, even after the pandemic has abated.
