Somewhere To Go: Enhancing Access to Medication Assisted Treatment in Rural Maryland

Home / Projects / Somewhere To Go: Enhancing Access to Medication Assisted Treatment in Rural Maryland

This project will address the opioid epidemic in rural Maryland by using telehealth to provide buprenorphine services. It will (1) increase the number of clinicians who are trained to provide medication assisted treatment using a telehealth approach; (2) increase the number of substance use treatment programs in rural areas successfully offering telehealth medication assisted treatment programs and (3) increase the number of patients in rural areas receiving medication assisted treatment.
