On June 14, 2023, DEA posted its newly revised Practitioner’s Manual on its Diversion website. The 2023 edition replaces all previous versions of the Practitioner’s Manual issued by DEA, both hard copy and electronic.
The manual is current and includes the recent elimination of the requirement for a special registration to treat opioid use disorder (DATA-Waiver).
And, of course DEA’s disclaimer: “Guidance documents, such as this document, are not binding and lack the force and effect of law, unless expressly authorized by statute or expressly incorporated into a contract, grant, or cooperative agreement.”
