AAAP Mat Waiver Training
Overview
Due to the ever increasing incidence of opioid use disorder nationally and in South Carolina, this training, provided by American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP), is designed to prepare physicians to treat opioid use disorders and prescribe the appropriate medication, and is the first step for physician's wanting to register with the DEA to receive their “X” number for prescribing. Physicians will learn the best modalities to treat opioid use disorders in their practice sites around the Upstate and eventually all of South Carolina, including the use of buprenorphine products as a means to wean patients off other opioids.
