When COVID-19 lockdowns threatened the ability of people to access methadone, the Viet Nam Ministry of Health, with the active support of UNAIDS and other United Nations (UN) agencies, implemented a new policy for take-home methadone. A three-province national pilot project, as well as a separate programme in Ho Chi Minh City, demonstrated the effectiveness of take-home methadone as a strategy to ensure continuous service access and improve health outcomes among people who inject drugs.
