Stopped: This Pilot implementation Trial was never started because no providers were found who would agree to use saliva-based toxicology tests in care
Care for Substance use disorders (SUD) such as Medication treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) saves lives and is increasingly delivered virtually. Currently, 60% of VA outpatient addiction treatment occurs over video. However, toxicology testing, a major component of SUD care, currently requires in-person visits. A process for virtual point-of-care toxicology testing is needed. This research will develop a Virtual Point-of-Care Toxicology Testing Process for VA. This Pilot Trial will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and proximal effects of the process by evaluating provider and patient testing uptake, qualitative feedback, and health service use.
