Free Trainings for the DEA’s Eight-Hour Opioid Treatment Training Requirement

Many of our readers may have heard about the new one-time, eight-hour training requirement focused on opioid treatment and management for all practitioners registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which came into effect on June 27, 2023. This is part of the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act, which was included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act enacted in December 2022. Practitioners interested in keeping their DEA registration must complete this requirement before their next DEA registration submission.
