Abstract

The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has for months not taken any position on the “x the x‐waiver” movement, which would deregulate the prescription of buprenorphine, eliminating the provisions of the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000), which require prescribers to have training and to have a special registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Last week, however, ASAM came out with this: It agrees with making buprenorphine more accessible by getting rid of the x‐waiver.
