In light of the nationwide public health emergency declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a result of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is now allowing practitioners to prescribe controlled substances to patients using telemedicine without first conducting an in-person evaluation during this public health emergency under 21 U.S.C. 802(54)(D).

As of March 31st, 2020, practitioners have further flexibility during the nationwide public health emergency to prescribe buprenorphine to new and existing patients with OUD via telephone without requiring such practitioners to first conduct an examination of the patient in person or via telemedicine.



In order to assist in this time of crisis, we are providing emergency telephone/telemedicine consultations for drug or alcohol addictions.

We can help you recover, virtually.
