Minors ages 16 or older may consent to receive medications that use buprenorphine for opioid use disorder as narcotic replacement therapy without parent or guardian consent. Assembly Bill (AB) 816 (2023) revised Family Code Section 6929 and added Family Code Section 6929.1 that expands minor consent to include narcotic replacement therapy only in a detoxification setting. Parent of guardian consent is necessary for maintenance narcotic replacement therapy (NRT).
