"The Buprenorphine Training Program fulfills the
physician-training requirements of the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of
2000 (DATA 2000). According to DATA 2000 requirements, physicians must
complete 8 hours of education, such as this program provides, if they wish
to become eligible to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid dependence. Upon
the successful completion of the training, and once they have met other
requirements, physicians can submit a “notification of intent” to the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to become
eligible to prescribe buprenorphine."
