Implementing a Low-threshold Audio-only Telehealth Model for Medication-assisted Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder at a Community-based Non-profit Organization in Washington, D.C.

This is an academic paper which describes the implications of a community-based non-profit's transition from in-person provision of low threshold medication assisted treatment (MAT) to a tele-health model. The organization also provided services such as harm reduction, counseling, and peer support to individuals with opioid use disorder. The study concludes that while retention rates of patients did drop, they remained excellent in comparison to in-person MAT care.
