Applicant screening shall be extensive and thorough and shall form the basis for effective, long-term treatment planning. It shall include a staff assessment as to appropriateness of treatment, that admission is voluntary, and that the patient understands the risks, benefits, and options. Prescription methadone/LAAM is a highly addictive substance and entry into a Program is a critical decision for both the patient and the Program. Before admitting an applicant to methadone/LAAM treatment, the Program shall satisfy itself that the applicant fully understands the reasons for and ramifications of administrative detoxification and that the applicant voluntarily enters the Program with that knowledge.
