Dear colleagues,

As you are aware we are currently in the middle of an unprecedented epidemic of prescription drug and heroin abuse. There are not nearly enough treatment programs, addiction specialists, and other specialized treatment options for this enormous problem. In an attempt to alleviate this problem the DEA has created a special license waiver for the prescription of buprenorphine drugs (suboxone and subutex) that any DO or MD can obtain. During the first year of holding the waiver a prescriber may only have 30 active prescriptions per month, and after the first year it increases to 100. This creates the need for buprenorphine clinics to employ multiple prescribers in order to serve this population.

I have been working for several months now at a clinic in Greensburg but we are forced to turn away dozens of patients per day. The company I work for is desperate for providers and willing to pay $1000 to work a shift that is usually around 4 hours. They will pay for your suboxone license and 8 hour online training course. They may even pay for your unrestricted license and regular DEA if you do not have it already. You will work one shift per month (or 2 shorter shifts if you want). The visits are not difficult and there is a receptionist, nurse, and MA to do all of the drug testing, health questionnaire, etc. There is no associated call or other obligations outside of your shift. After one year you would have the opportunity for more shifts when you are able to have 100 active prescriptions.

If anyone is interested in learning more please contact me at [email protected] or 440-724-6592.

Thanks,

Justin N. McCray
