Telehealth vs. in-person follow-up for opioid addiction treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares follow-up care after an emergency department visit for opioid addiction: either through telehealth (video visits) or in-person appointments. The goal is to see which method helps people stay in treatment after they leave the ED.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
