✅   Using Routinely Collected Data From the Network of Alcohol and Other Drugs Agencies Database to Evaluate the Impact of COVID-19 Lockdowns on Trends in Service Delivery in Outpatient Non-Government Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services

science

CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of COVID-19 lockdown measures did not appear to adversely impact the number of NSW non-government AOD outpatient treatment episodes delivered nor the likelihood of unplanned dropout. Our findings illustrate the likely role of telehealth in sustaining (and for some groups, perhaps temporarily increasing) AOD service provision during the COVID-19 pandemic. This highlights the sector's resilience in sustaining care under challenging circumstances.
