The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000)The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) expands the clinical context of medication-assisted opioid addiction treatment by allowing qualified physicians to dispense or prescribe specifically approved Schedule III, IV, and V narcotic medications for the treatment of opioid addiction in treatment settings other than the traditional Opioid Treatment Program (i.e., methadone clinic). In addition, DATA 2000 reduces the regulatory burden on physicians who choose to practice opioid addiction therapy by permitting qualified physicians to apply for and receive waivers of the special registration requirements defined in the Controlled Substances Act. moreSAMHSA and NIDA Convene Summit on Buprenorphine TreatmentThe Summit convened February 21-22, 2008, in Washington, D.C. to bring together experts in epidemiology, pharmacology, toxicology, and addiction treatment in order to build upon the findings of the previous summits in 2003 and 2005.
