We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection...the worst things is that chewing over the phone, it feels louder than in person.
How did methadone clinics manage to keep their doors open during the COVID-19 pandemic? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine team up with Dr. Charlie Reznikoff to explore the unique challenges faced by one methadone clinic. They dive into how social distancing was implemented in crowded spaces and the shift to take-home doses for patients. Dr.
Reznikoff shares insights on whether these changes have led to better patient-centered care or if they’ve resulted in over-monitoring. The discussion also covers Minnesota's stringent regulations and the complexities of dealing with fentanyl during this period. This episode offers a thorough look at how methadone clinics adapted during the pandemic and the ongoing impact on patient care. If you're curious about the intersection of addiction treatment and public health crises, this conversation is a must-listen.
