Enhancing Access to Addiction Treatment Act of 2018

Summary

Enhancing Access to Addiction Treatment Act of 2018 This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to expand the types of training that satisfy the training requirement to be a qualifying physician who may administer, dispense, or prescribe narcotic drugs for maintenance or detoxification treatment in an office-based opioid treatment program. Specifically, a physician who recently graduated from medical school (either allopathic or osteopathic) and successfully completed a comprehensive curriculum or residency that included training on treating and managing opiate-dependent patients satisfies the training requirement to be a qualifying physician. The Department of Health and Human Services must establish a grant program to support the development of such curricula by medical schools and teaching hospitals.
