Abstract
Representative Donald Norcross (D‐N.J.), normally a champion of addiction treatment, caused outrage in methadone treatment field last month when he referred to the opioid treatment program (OTP) model as a “cartel” in his official press statement supporting the Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act, which would allow office‐based addiction physicians to prescribe methadone for opioid use disorder (OUD). The proposed legislation would, like the OTAA (Opioid Treatment Access Act) proposed last year (see “Mammoth bipartisan bill would revamp SAMHSA programs,” ADAW, May 16, 2022; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33428) threaten the “turf” of OTPs. ADAW wrote about the introduction of the bill last month (see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33428).
