Dear Sir/Madam:

As the person responsible for the program (OTP), I submit this application in triplicate for approval to use approved opioid drugs in a program for detoxification and/or maintenance treatment for narcotic addicts in accordance with 42 CFR Part 8, Certification of Opioid Treatment Programs. A copy of this application has been sent to the State Authority within which State the program is located. I understand that SAMHSA and State approvals are necessary to obtain a registration from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

A. I have a copy of, or access to 42 CFR Part 8, Certification of Opioid Treatment Programs, including 42 CFR §8.12, the Federal Opioid Treatment Standards. I have read, understand and will comply with these standards which govern the treatment of narcotic addiction with approved opioid drugs.

B. Attached is a description of the current accreditation status of the OTP. This description includes the name and address of the accreditation body and the date of the last accreditation action.

C. Attached is a description of the organizational structure of the OTP which includes the name and complete address of any central administration or larger organizational structure to which this program is responsible. The description shall specify how the program will provide adequate medical, counseling, vocational, educational, and assessment services, at the primary facility, unless the program sponsor has entered into a formal documented agreement with another entity to provide these services to patients enrolled in the OTP. In addition, the attachment includes the names of the persons responsible for the OTP.

FORM SMA-162 (revised 2003) (FRONT) (Submit in triplicate)
D. Attached are the names, addresses, and a description of each hospital, institution, clinical laboratory, or other facility used by this program to provide the necessary medical and rehabilitative services.

E. A medical director will be designated to assume responsibility for administering all medical services performed by the program. If a medical director is responsible for more than one program, the feasibility of such an arrangement will be documented and submitted to SAMHSA. Within three weeks of any replacement of the medical director, I shall notify SAMHSA.

F. Attached is the address of each medication unit or other facility under control of the OTP. Any new dispensing site for this program, including medication units shall be approved by SAMHSA and the State authority prior to its use. SAMHSA and the State authority shall be notified within three weeks of the deletion of any facility used to dispense opioid treatment drugs.

G. A patient records system will be established and maintained to document and monitor patient care in this program. It shall be maintained so as to comply with the Federal and State reporting requirements relevant to narcotic treatment. A drug dispensing record will be maintained to show dates, quantity, and batch or code marks of the drug administered or dispensed, traceable to specific patients. This drug dispensing record must be retained for a period of three years from the date of dispensing.

H. I have a copy of, or access to 42 CFR Part 2, Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records. I have read and understand the requirements to maintain the confidentiality of alcohol and drug abuse treatment patient records. I agree to protect the identity of all patients in accordance with the regulations.

I. I shall comply with the security standards for the distribution of controlled substances, as required by 21 CFR §1301, Registration of Manufacturers, Distributors, and Dispensers of Controlled Substances.

J. I agree to comply with the conditions of certification set forth under 42 CFR §8.11(f). In addition, I shall allow, in accordance with Federal controlled substance laws and Federal confidentiality laws, inspections and surveys by duly authorized employees of SAMHSA, by accreditation bodies, the DEA, and by authorized employees of any relevant State or Federal governmental authority. I agree that OTPs must operate in accordance with Federal opioid treatment standards and accreditation elements.

K. I agree to adhere to all rules, directives, and procedures set forth in 42 CFR Part 8, and any regulation regarding the use of an opioid drug for the treatment of narcotic addiction which may be promulgated in the future. I shall inform other individuals who work in this treatment program of the provisions of this regulation, and monitor their activities to assure compliance with the provisions.

L. I understand that failure to abide by the rules directives, and procedures described above may cause a suspension or revocation of approval of my registration by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

M. I, as program sponsor, certify that the information submitted in this application is truthful and accurate.
