Brief summary (from the registry)

The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the challenges faced by Veterans at risk of opioid overdose including Veterans prescribed moderate-to-high dose long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) whose usual treatment resources and coping strategies may be inaccessible. This project combines established VA care components to deploy and evaluate virtual models of care for Veterans on high-risk LTOT to meet the dual challenges of maintaining social distancing and delivery high quality care.
