OhioMHAS will be holding DEA DATA 2000 waiver trainings for physicians, third year resident physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners across Ohio. These one-and-a-half-day trainings are free and will fulfill the requirements for physicians to prescribe medication assisted treatment (MAT).  Nurse practitioners and physician assistants will have an additional online training component. 

OhioMHAS has partnered with ASAM to provide these trainings.  Two ASAM trainers will deliver the first day of training.  The second day will be a half day with speakers presenting on implementation of MAT in practice.  A DEA agent will present on the audit process and DEA guidelines. An expert on SBIRT and Motivational Interviewing will present, and there will be presentations on low dose prescribing and referral to treatment in the local area.
