Expect More Buprenorphine Rxs for Opioid Use Disorder

You'll get more buprenorphine Rxs for opioid use disorder (OUD)...due to new gov't guidelines waiving certain requirements for prescribers.

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

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