HHS Revises Guidelines for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced it is releasing new buprenorphine practice guidelines, in an effort to give more Americans with opioid use disorder access to this evidence-based treatment.
 
The announcement means a longtime requirement tied to training will be removed, which was cited as a barrier by some practitioners for being able to treat more people.
