Is a separate registration required to provide Narcotic Treatment Services?
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other federal agencies have received numerous inquiries requesting clarification of the three-day (72-hour) exception to the DEAs separate registration requirement for maintenance or detoxification treatment. In addition, confusion continues to exist whether practitioners may prescribe, dispense, or administer Buprenex, a Schedule III controlled substance, for maintenance and detoxification treatment. A practitioner who wants to use Schedule II narcotic drugs for maintenance and/or detoxification must obtain separate registration from DEA as a narcotic treatment program pursuant to the Narcotic Addict Treatment Act of 1974. This registration allows a practitioner to administer or dispense, but not prescribe, scheduled narcotic drugs that are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of narcotic addiction. Methadone and levo-alpha-acetyl-methadol (LAAM) are the only scheduled narcotics approved by FDA
