"The Buprenorphine Training Program (first course) fulfills the
physician-training requirements of the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of
2000 (DATA 2000). According to DATA 2000 requirements, physicians must
complete 8 hours of education, such as this program provides, if they wish
to become eligible to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid dependence. Upon

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to become
eligible to prescribe buprenorphine." The second course, Post-Training Buprenorphine Cases,
