Abstract

To bolster access to opioid use disorder (OUD) services during the COVID-19 pandemic, IAFCC will provide technical assistance and other supports to help free clinics implement telehealth platforms so that clinicians can proactively reach out to people with OUD. The grantees are also offering guidance to clinic leaders in soliciting emergency federal CARES funds to support their COVID-19 response and sustain these programs over the long term.
