How to obtain your waiver to prescribe buprenorphine

As of 2021, MD/DOs, PAs, and NPs are no longer required to take an 8 hour waiver training.  Those who desire to prescribe buprenorphine for up to 30 patients are still required to obtain a buprenorphine waiver through the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

To apply, complete the Notification of Intent (NOI) form located at this link:  https://buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/forms/select-practitioner-type.php

For assistance completing the NOI form, please refer to our FAQ page.

2.    Click on the button on the right side of the screen that says, “Request Your Waiver Certificate’
