Last month, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) issued a “Dear Colleagues” letter calling on personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers to honor requests from substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers. “Treatment providers and all others associated with maintaining this vital sector of healthcare serve in a critical capacity and will require personal protective equipment (PPE) during unavoidable face‐to‐face patient interactions,” wrote James W. Carroll, ONDCP director, in the April 23 letter.
