No. Under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) of 2000, prescription use of these medications in the treatment of opioid dependence is limited to physicians who meet certain qualifying requirements, and must have written notification to the Secretary of Health and Human Services of their intent to utilize Buprenorphine HCL for the treatment of opioid dependence.
