CSAT's Division of Pharmacologic Therapies (DPT) manages the
day-to-day regulatory oversight activities necessary to implement new
SAMHSA regulations (42 CFR Part 8) on the use of Opioid agonist
medications (methadone and LAAM) approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for addiction treatment. These activities include
supporting the certification and accreditation of over 1,000 Opioid
treatment programs that collectively treat over 200,000 patients
annually.
DPT also supports the training of medical and substance abuse
professionals on a variety of treatment issues, including the use of
new medications, such as Buprenorphine, that are anticipated to be
approved by FDA for use by physicians.
