SUMMARY:Impact of New Federal Regulations in Opioid Treatment Programs
DESCRIPTION:In June\, OTP colleagues across the state joined to learn about the regulatory changes and discuss considerations for implementation. While these sessions were focused on community-based OTPs\, some training content may apply to any OTP-certified program\, such as Intensive 24-Hour Diversionary Medically Managed Withdrawal Management Services\, 24-Hour Diversionary Medically Managed Withdrawal Management\, Services\, and Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs Operated by Penal Facilities. Virtual opportunities were offered to detail the waiver from certain regulatory requirements and specific guidance to align 42 CFR Part 8 and 105 CMR 164.000. \nParticipants were able to ask questions to clarify guidance\, discuss alignment with regulatory requirements\, and identify opportunities for navigating the changes. \nDiscussion: \n\nOverview of the changes within the new regulations.\nConsideration of changes and how they may impact OTP daily operations and the patient experience.\nCollective experiences and insights to navigate the path forward together.
