24 Miss. Code. R. 2-53.1 - General Related to Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs)
A. DMH will serve as the State Authority for
Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP) under the authority provided under state
statute (Miss. Code Ann. §
41-4-7). Such OTPs shall provide
withdrawal management services to people suffering from chronic addiction to
opioids/opioid derivatives. The services support the person by utilizing a
federal FDA approved agonist, while the person participates in a spectrum of
counseling and other recovery support services intended to assist the person
with successful recovery from opioid addiction.
B. Agency providers of OTPs shall comply with
all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, and/or rules to include,
but not be limited to, those promulgated/administered by or through the United
States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) regulations, and the Controlled Substances Act. Any federal laws,
regulations, or guidelines that exceed or conflict with the rules set forth
under this chapter will take precedent.
C. An OTP must have a current, valid
certification from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) and permanently display proof of that current
certification in public view, available for public inspection. Additionally,
OTPs must have a current certification from the Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
D. The operation of each OTP must be in
compliance with the Mississippi Pharmacy Practice Act, as well as current rules
and regulations promulgated by the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy; and must at a
minimum obtain and maintain a "Pharmacy Permit," as defined and authorized by
the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy.
E. OTP is NOT a level of care. OTP is a
service of employing agonist or antagonist medications at any level of
care.
