The U.S. Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has granted a temporary exemption from the unsupervised take home medication requirements of 42 C F R § 8.12(i) that are necessary to dispense up to 28 days of take-home doses of opioid use disorder medication to stable patients if the OTP believes the patient can safely handle this amount of take home medication, and dispense up to 14 days of take-home doses of opioid use disorder medication to less stable patients if the OTP believes the patient can safely handle this amount of take home medication. At the federal level, this exemption will start at the end of the COVID-19 federal PHE and continue for one year thereafter, unless modified or terminated by SAMHSA The NC State Opioid Treatment Authority (SOTA) and NC DHSR are developing a temporary rule waiver to align with SAMHSA’s exemption DHSR has created a pathway for programs to individually request a waiver of the state rule on unsupervised take-home medication.
