The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO; the licensing authority for all medical doctors in Ontario) has made recommendations for which doctors should prescribe Suboxone. The CPSO recommends that to prescribe Suboxone a doctor should:
-
have taken a specific Suboxone training course,
-
have experience in treating opiate addiction,
-
take continuing medial education in the treatment of opiate addiction, and
-
in most cases should probably be methadone prescribers so that patients may be offered a choice
The doctors at BMC meet all these requirements for Suboxone treatment.
