Expect More Buprenorphine Rxs for Opioid Use Disorder

June 2021

You'll see more buprenorphine Rxs for opioid use disorder (OUD)...due to a new gov't exemption waiving certain prescriber requirements.

Previously, prescribers had to complete 8 to 24 hours of training to get an "X" DEA number to write buprenorphine Rxs for OUD.

Now physicians, plus NPs and PAs in most states, can get an X number and treat up to 30 patients at a time by simply applying online.
