Regulations

Methadone treatment for opioid dependence is highly regulated by federal, state, and local regulations. SAMHSA, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,  offers a wider variety of evidence-based information related to methadone treatment and other addiction medicine modalities. This includes links to federal regulations governing methadone treatment, as well as other helpful resources of providers and colleagues. Federal Guideline for Opiod Treatment Programs, March 2015, is now available on the SAMHSA website.
