Abstract
Our article on for‐profit opioid treatment programs (OTPs) being able to use the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment block grant (see “SAMHSA moves toward allowing funds to go to for‐profit OTPs,” ADAW Oct. 11; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33217) elicited a lot of attention. This is to be expected. It has always been assumed that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) prohibits awards to for‐profit entities, as laid out by the Public Health Service Act. However, with 60% of OTPs now for‐profit, opening up this funding, which was spurred by the recent approval of methadone vans, has become a reality.
