Alcohol use disorders (AUD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) have growing impacts on public health, yet many do not receive evidence-based care. People with co-occurring AUD and ALD, especially those in rural communities with less access to specialty care, are most in need of novel integrated care models. The use of telehealth to facilitate co-location within an integrated care model may help to improve access to AUD and ALD care while reducing barriers and improving recovery outcomes for both the substance use disorder and liver disease.
Keywords: alcohol; integrated delivery system; liver disease; telehealth.
