How it works: (updated 6/26/2007)
1) Physicians log in, the number of patients waiting for treatment in your selected area will be displayed.
2) Select patients that best fit your expertise and experience, by clicking on the "select" button.
3) Once you have selected patients, click the"Click here to email selected patients" button. That will bring you to the last step. Patients receive an email instructing them to call your office to further discuss the possibility of treatment. It is then up to the patient to contact you. You may add to or change the outgoing message. Your email address is not given to the patient, or anyone else. Patients cannot email you through our site.

NOTE: Until more patients become aware of this program, some of you will find "0" patients within range of your practice. As the system becomes more popular this should change. If you selected "receive updates" when you registered, you will receive an email alert when a new patient in range of your practice registers. This option can be turned off when traffic increases. How can I reach more patients?

Terms: The intent of this site is to efficiently connect patients in need of treatment for opioid dependence with an Office-based Treatment Provider, certified to prescribe buprenorphine. It is unlawful to use this site to solicit for anything other than stated above. Example: it is inconsistent with the terms to use this site to solicit for “Rapid detox”, “inpatient rehab”, or any other treatment that is not considered Office-based Opioid Dependence Treatment with buprenorphine, and such treatment must be consistent with the physician training established to obtain the DEA waiver to prescribe Schedule III medications, for opioid dependence, in an office based setting, according to the DATA2000 law. If you do not have an “X” number from the DEA you are not authorized to use this patient database. See terms of use for more information.
