You can look up docs licensed to RX buprenorphine. My understanding of the situation is that they take some sort of class/training, and they're good to go. If a doc sees fit, s/he can RX for something other than opiate withdrawal...they just need to practice good patient management and avoid over-prescribing, etc. It doesn't seem to be that big a deal--its just unorthodox.

Anyway, I did a search for docs in 50mi radius of me, and a couple shrinks popped up, and some of them seemed to be in private practice...my guess is a number of those docs are using it "off-label" in select cases.
