Waiver Replace Data For Free

Each DATA Waived Physician (DWP) is responsible for notifying the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and DEA of a change in his/her primary practice address.

What is the DATA 2000 Waiver?The DATA 2000 Waiver helps improve access to OUD and substance-use disorder (SUD) treatment. It allows clinicians to dispense or prescribe narcotic medications like buprenorphine in settings other than an opioid treatment program (OTP).

Prescribing buprenorphine still requires a valid X waiver.

Methadone and buprenorphine work by tricking the brain into thinking it's receiving the abused drug. Patients do not experience the intense high produced by their former drug of choice, but these medications do prevent withdrawal symptoms that would otherwise occur as addiction subsides and substances clear the body.

Medication Assisted Treatment Waiver Training Physicians require 8 hours of training on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to obtain a waiver from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
