Mobile addiction treatment units: a narrative review
MATUs proved to be innovative and effective in addressing OUD and related issues for vulnerable populations traditionally lacking access to care. However, ongoing efforts to overcome implementation challenges and ensure sustainable funding and resources are crucial for their continued success and expansion. Future research should focus on large-scale, quantitative studies, particularly in diverse and rural settings, to better understand their long-term impact and sustainability.
