🤝DEA Extends Telehealth Prescription for Controlled Meds
🤝DEA Extends Telehealth Prescription for Controlled MedsYour 10/15/23 update on all things mental healthGood morning! ☀️ And Happy Sunday! Today, we cover the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) rule allowing controlled substances to continue to be prescribed through telehealth, new research around mental health and light exposure, and California’s push towards greater flexibility around involuntary hospitalization. Question: Which are best states and worst states for mental health? Controlled Medications Prescribed through TelehealthControlled medications are drugs or chemicals whose manufacture, possession and use is regulated by a government. Among these are stimulants for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, benzodiazepines for anxiety, and drugs for opioid use disorder. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has, for the second time, “extended temporary rules” that allow controlled medications to be prescribed via telehealth (link). These rules were established during the COVID-19 pandemic as an exception to the Ryan Haight Act, which requires “at least one in-person medical examination before a doctor can prescribe a controlled medicine.” The flexibilities will now be extended through December 31, 2024 while the DEA and Department of Health and Human Services consider further public comments and revisions.
