Physicians qualified to treat opioid dependence in their office may elect to be on a National list available to the public. This list originates at The US Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment - HHS, SAMHSA, CSAT. NAABT utilizes this public data in the "Find a Certified Physician" search engine that sorts physicians in geographic proximity of a zip code entered.
The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 limits physicians to prescribing buprenorphine for opioid addiction to a maximum of 30 patients at one time. Because of this, some physicians listed on the Locator may not be accepting new patients at this time. If you are unable to find a physician within your area who is accepting new patients, please go to the National Patient Waiting List so that a physician may contact you when an opening becomes available.
NAABT, Inc. is a non-profit organization and serves to assist people in finding Buprenorphine treatment providers only, like that of a search engine or phone book. The service is free and voluntary, and comes with no warranty or guarantee, or cost for using the service. Naabt.org acts only as an optional and additional tool to help connect individuals in need of buprenorphine treatment to appropriate buprenorphine treatment providers.
