As a busy Addiction Psychiatrist in the NOVA area, I am strongly in support of this proposed change. I've personally had 5 patients under the age of 15 with opioid use disorder die of opioid overdose in the past 2 years. This would not have happenned if physicians were allowed to prescribe Suboxone to those under 15. Let's update the regulations and save more of our childrens' lives.
