Our findings support a nurse-practitioner-facilitated telehealth treatment program for OUD. However, in a program that offers patient-centered care that does not have a one-size-fits-all approach to service, goals of care must be reevaluated throughout treatment. Moreover, given the increased risk of patients feeling isolated with telehealth appointments and the lack of physical face-to-face interactions, healthcare providers should explore ways to engage patients in meaningful support resources and reduce stigma.
