Abstract
Last week the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) issued a 181-page description of the rationale behind the new guidelines for opioid treatment programs (OTPs). The new guidelines, which greatly liberalize federal rules regarding take-homes, eligibility for treatment, and more, were issued in February 2024 (see ADAW https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.34023). The manual issued last week, Federal Guidelines for Opioid Treatment Programs (https://store.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/federal-guidelines-opioid-treatment-pep24-02-011.pdf), noted that Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations (42 CFR) part 8 “sets the standards for services” in OTPs, and regulates their certification and accreditation.
