PCSS wanted to share this email from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency regarding new training requirements.
Requirements for training for Medication Assistant Treatment as part of the MATE Act
Dear DEA Registrant:
Please see the letter which outlines the requirements for training for Medication Assistant Treatment as part of the MATE Act, which was part of the Omnibus Bill at the end of December 2022. DEA was given 90 days to let practitioners know how to meet the MATE Act’s training requirement which is tied to their initial or renewal DEA registration beginning on June 27, 2023. This letter provides the information to the practitioners as to how they can meet those training requirements. It will be posted to our website at the following link: Informational Documents.
