NAATP on telemedicine and a ‘disease of isolation’

Abstract

Because of COVID‐19 social distancing, many people are unable to go to in‐person recovery support meetings, or to treatment. There's not a lot of evidence about telemedicine and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, because telemedicine is so recent, said Chelsey Cusimano, executive administrator of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP). But it is all people have now.
