The aim of this Policy Watch column is to provide an update on a much anticipated legislation, enacted in 2016, which enabled office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) with buprenorphine prescribing for the treatment of opioid addiction by nurse practitioners (as well as physician assistants). First, an overview of the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000, which only permitted OBOT prescribing by physicians, will be described. It will be followed by a summary of the Recovery Enhancement for Addiction Treatment Act of 2015-2016. Finally, a review of the Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Act of 2016 will be provided, which includes information about important changes to OBOT regulations that enable NP prescribing of buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid addiction.
本政策观察专栏的目的是提供关于一项备受期待的立法的最新情况。该立法于2016年颁布,允许执业护士(以及医师助理)在办公室进行阿片类药物治疗(OBOT),开具丁丙诺啡用于治疗阿片类药物成瘾。首先,将介绍2000年的《药物成瘾治疗法》,该法仅允许医生开具OBOT处方。接下来是2015 - 2016年《成瘾治疗康复增强法》的总结。最后,将对2016年的《综合成瘾康复法》进行回顾,其中包括有关OBOT法规重要变化的信息,这些变化使执业护士能够开具丁丙诺啡用于治疗阿片类药物成瘾。
