Buprenorphine Waiver Training

ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
IS SPONSORING A FREE BUPRENORPHINE WAIVER ELIGIBILITY TRAINING FOR CLINICAL PROVIDERS

In response to the opioid overdose deaths in New York State, increased access to buprenorphine treatment for
opioid overdose disorder is urgently needed. Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are
welcome and highly encouraged to attend this training.
Under current regulations, authorized practitioners (MDs, DOs, NPs & PAs) are required to obtain a ‘waiver’ to
prescribe buprenorphine. To acquire this waiver, physicians are required to complete standardized waiver 8-hour
training. Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are required to complete the standardized buprenorphine
waiver 8-hour training as well as an additional 16 hours of online training as established by the Comprehensive
Addiction and Recovery Act. This training is offered in a ‘half and-half’ format [4.5 hours of in-person training
followed up by 3.5 hours of online training]. Upon completion of the required training, providers will meet the
requirement of the DATA 2000 to apply for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid-dependent patients.
Please contact us for further information.
