Did you know the x-waiver is no longer required for prescribing buprenorphine?

The Maryland Addiction Consultation Service (MACS) makes providing lifesaving care easier.

Effective December 29, 2022, the DATA 2000 waiver is no longer required to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Only a DEA number is needed. The removal of the x-waiver makes it easier for prescribers to provide life-saving treatment for opioid use disorder.
