The final rule also established an accreditation requirement. Each OTP is required to obtain and maintain accreditation from an accreditation organization approved by SAMHSA under 42 CFR part 8. Accreditation organizations that provide OTP accreditation under the final rule are required to apply for and obtain SAMHSA approval. Under 42 CFR 8.3(a)(3), each accreditation organization must develop a set of accreditation elements or standards together with a detailed discussion of how these elements will assure that each OTP surveyed by the accreditation organization is meeting each for the Federal opioid treatment standards. The Guidelines for the Accreditation of Opioid Treatment Programs, are intended to guide accreditation organizations in preparing their accreditation standards. In addition, the Guidelines provide useful elaborations on the regulatory standards set forth under 42 CFR part 8. As such, the updated guidelines will assist both accreditation organizations and OTPs in complying with regulatory requirements. Prepared initially in 1997, Guidelines for the Accreditation of Opioid Treatment Programs are being updated now to reflect new information and research in the field of opioid assisted treatment. CSAT convened an expert panel to provide the draft guideline now being circulated for comment. CSAT is soliciting comments on the guideline from the public, and expects comments from OTPs, accreditation organizations, patients, the medical community and other interested parties. CSAT will consider all comments submitted by July 16, 2006; in order to publish a revised guideline; however, CSAT will continuously accept and consider comments for future consideration. Dated: May 8, 2006. Anna Marsh, Director of OPS, SAMHSA.
