FREE (VIRTUAL) MAT WAIVER TRAINING IN HARRIS COUNTY
This 2 hour course will teach you all the required skills needed to apply for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorders.
Our goal is to get medical providers the information they need about opioid disorder, discuss how it can be treated, and how to implement this into your practice, plus help with troubleshooting logistical barriers for your patients.
