GetWaiveredTX- Draft
In 2017 there were 1,458 overdose deaths in Texas, more than any previous year on record. Buprenorphine is FDA-approved to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). A DEA X-waiver is required to prescribe buprenorphine for OUD. By getting waivered, you take the first step towards providing patients with life-saving addiction treatment. GetWaiveredTX is a statewide DSHS-funded training initiative from UT Health San Antonio focused on increasing the number of health care providers in Texas delivering evidence-based buprenorphine treatment for OUD. If you’re in Texas, we have training near you!
