Designating NTP Personnel

Federal regulations require that medication deliveries to an NTP be received and secured by program personnel specifically designated for these tasks. Acceptance of delivery of narcotic substances must be made only by a licensed practitioner employed at the NTP or by other authorized individuals designated in writing (excluding persons currently or previously dependent on narcotic drugs), who must sign for the narcotics. [21 CFR 1301.74(h)]

• It is recommended that the NTP designate one staff member to have primary responsibility for receiving and securing the medication. The NTP also should identify additional program personnel who have authority to receive and store the medication at times when the individual designated to have primary responsibility is not available.
   
• The NTP must maintain a written list of all designated personnel who have been authorized to receive and store the medication. [21 CFR 1301.74(h)]. This list should be updated whenever a change in designated personnel occurs.
