Clinical Care Options is creating a course for you and your practice to meet the DEA requirements.

Congress recently passed the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act which requires all DEA license holders to take an 8 hour course on:

  • The treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders, or
  • The safe pharmacological management of pain, and

  • The screening, intervention, and referral for appropriate treatment of patients with or at risk of developing opioid or other substance use disorders

Ways to meet DEA requirements include:

divider
  • Board Certification in Addiction Medicine
  • Graduating from an accredited professional school (Medical, Dental, NP, PA) and completing a curriculum that includes no less than 8 hours of training on treating and managing patients with substance abuse disorders
  • Completing at least 8 hours of training in the treatment or management of patients with opioid or other substance abuse disorders

In the coming weeks, CCO will release additional information.
