A prescriber who is board-certified in addiction has which letter in front of their DEA number?

The correct answer is: X

A prescriber who is board-certified in addiction treatment has a DEA number that starts with the letter "X." This designation indicates that the prescriber has been granted a waiver under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) of 2000, allowing them to prescribe medications such as buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder. The "X" indicates that the provider has undergone specific training and has met certain criteria to treat patients with opioid addiction using medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This is an essential feature of the prescriber’s qualifications, as it distinguishes them from other healthcare professionals who may not have the same authorization to prescribe these controlled substances for addiction treatment. In contrast, the letters "A," "B," and "Z" are used for other types of DEA registrants or may not be relevant for the specific context of addiction treatment. The "A" or "B" typically identifies physicians or other practitioners in general practice, while "Z" is not associated with any specific type of prescriber. Understanding this distinction is critical for ensuring that patients receive appropriate and legal treatment options based on their specific needs.
