DEA NEW FINAL RULE POSTPONED
The DEA is going to postpone the implementation of its new final rule titled Expansion of Buprenorphine Treatment via Telemedicine Encounter until December 31, 2025.
THIS CHANGES NOTHING
The DEA has repeatedly threatened to implement the in-person-visit requirement since 2022. Therefore, Dr. Mitchell is going ahead with the planned in-person appointments, and only patients who have successfully completed one with him will continue to be his patients after June of this year.
Anyone who has NOT successfully completed an in-person visit with Dr. Mitchell by this June 8th will have to either wean off of the medication or find a new doctor BEFORE JULY of this year.
The one-time, in-person evaluation is FREE and will include a review of your medical history and a brief physical examination.
You will NOT get a prescription during this in-person visit.
You will NOT disrobe for the physical examination.
These evaluations will take place in Fort Lauderdale at a location on Boward Blvd just west of I-95. Maps with the address and directions are in the evaluation file which you can download from the link near the top of this page.
