Hello Association Executives - I hope your week has been going well! We wanted to update you that SAMHSA will be hosting a virtual briefing for stakeholders on new regulations impacting opioid treatment programs (OTPs). In February of this year, SAMHSA issued final rule amending 42 CFR part 8 regulations governing OTP certification and treatment standards (often referred to as "Part 8"). Final rule becomes effective April 2, 2024 and the compliance date is October 2, 2024.
On Thursday, March 14, 3pm-4pm ET, SAMHSA is hosting a briefing on the recent changes made to Part 8 regulations and you can register here to join.
Please feel free to share this with your members. We are not otherwise sending this to National Council members.
Please let me or Katherine Seibel, Manager, Federal and Regulatory Activities (KatherineS@thenationalcouncuil.org) know if you have questions or if any additional information would be helpful.
Thank you –
Reyna
