DEA ADDS REQUIREMENT FOR PROVIDERS TREATING/MANAGING SUD/OUD

Effective January 27, 2023, PAs and other providers treating/managing SUD/OUD will be required to have completed an approved eight-hour training. The link below is to an informative ASAM release about this, with links to several known resources. There will likely be many more and hopefully some will be available without a fee. OF NOTE: PAs OR OTHERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY OBTAINED AN X-WAIVER ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS PROCESS. Click
