Narcotic Treatment Programs
Only a licensed practitioner employed at a Narcotic Treatment Program
(NTP) or other authorized individual designated in writing may accept
delivery of narcotic substances. Excluded from authorization to accept
delivery are any persons currently or previously dependent on narcotics.
At the time of delivery, the licensed practitioner or other authorized
individual designated in writing must sign for the narcotics and place
his or her specific title (if any) on the invoice. Copies of these
signed invoices must be kept by the distributor.
Narcotics may only be dispensed or administered at an NTP directly to
the patient by either:
- The licensed practitioner;
- A registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse under the
direction of the licensed practitioner;
- A pharmacist under the direction of the licensed practitioner.
Persons enrolled at an NTP must wait in an area which is physically
separated from the narcotic storage and dispensing area.
The Drug Enforcement Administration may exercise discretion regarding the degree of security required
in NTP's based upon such
factors as the location of a program, the number of patients, the number
of physicians, staff members and security guards, etc. These factors
will be taken into consideration when evaluating existing security or
requiring new security at an NTP.
