Find a specialist: According to the fda, doctors must take an 8-hour class on addiction treatment, or already possess such credentials, and then apply for a special dea#. Once they obtain their # they are limited to treating only 30 patients at a time. See http://www.Fda.Gov/drugs/drugsafety/postmarketdrugsafetyinformationforpatientsandproviders/ucm191523.Htm.
