Course Description: The increased rate of negative effects imputed to substance use disorders (SUDs) warrants exploration pertaining to treatment effectiveness and access to care for individuals in this demographic. Telehealth is a treatment alternative that may afford increased reach and access to care. Telehealth via video conferencing has demonstrated effectiveness for patients with mental health disorders and chronic illness. Nicotine, alcohol, and opioids functioned as the primary exploratory substances in the accompanying review. Telemedical treatment was an effective alternative when access to care was limited, this treatment-type was also associated with high patient satisfaction rates.

  1. Review telemedical concepts for SUD treatment
  2. Consider and evaluate the delivery process of telemedicine, and telehealth related treatment interventions, for patients with SUDs
  3. Evaluate the summarized findings and methodological problems discovered by the researchers who conducted the accompanying study
