P02 An In-Depth Review of the NCCHC's Standards for Opioid Treatment Programs in Correctional Facilities*
Description

This seminar will discuss NCCHC’s 2025 Standards for Opioid Treatment Programs in Correctional Facilities. In October 2024, the Standards were submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for review as required due to NCCHC’s designation as an approved accreditor for corrections-based OTPs. SAMHSA’s updated February 2024 rule increases access to OUD care by expanding the scope of practice for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, allowing the use of telehealth, revising admission criteria, and more. Whether your facility operates an accredited OTP or is planning to establish one, this seminar will provide essential guidance on the steps needed to implement and sustain a successful program. The registration fee includes a copy of the 2025 Standards, a $99 value. 7 CE credits.
