Which form must physicians complete to administer and dispense narcotics for detoxification?

When it comes to the administration and dispensing of narcotics specifically for the purposes of detoxification, physicians are required to complete Form 2632. This form is a crucial part of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations that govern the treatment of individuals with opioid use disorder. It allows a physician to obtain a waiver to prescribe and dispense medications for the treatment of opioid dependence.

Form 2632 is specifically designed for practitioners who intend to use narcotics as part of a medication-assisted treatment program, aligning with federal regulations intended to ensure that such treatment is conducted responsibly and within legal boundaries. Ensuring compliance with this requirement helps to prevent misuse and promotes careful monitoring of patients undergoing detoxification.

While there are other forms mentioned, such as 224, 222, and 106, they serve different purposes in the context of narcotics management. Form 224 is used to apply for a DEA registration to dispense controlled substances. Form 222 is used for ordering controlled substances, and Form 106 is used to report theft or loss of controlled substances. None of these forms are tailored specifically for the detoxification process like Form 2632 is.
