Abstract

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued in December (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33643) that liberalized many of the federal rules governing opioid treatment programs (OTPs) — the only treatment provider allowed to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) with methadone — has drawn key comments from the field. This NPRM concerned Part 8 of 42 CFR Part 2. Don't confuse it with the NPRM also in process concerning Part 2 (confidentiality of substance use disorder treatment records), which ADAW has covered as well (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33661). We have been publishing selected comments to both NPRMs out of concern that they be included in the public record, as previously the federal government in summaries has cherry‐picked comments supportive of its proposals (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.32640).
