Leveraging Innovation and Technology to Care for People Who Use Drugs: Strategies from the Field
This webinar is hosted by National Council for Mental Wellbeing
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted harm reduction and substance use disorder treatment organizations and changed the ways in which services and supports are delivered. Many organizations that care for people who use drugs transitioned to or increased their use of telehealth and technology-assisted supports, and this increased use of technology is expected to continue. These innovations benefit both participants and providers; however, implementing virtual services presents unique challenges distinct from in-person care and can exacerbate existing social and health inequities.
