South Dakota: what a medical director of a addiction medicine / mat clinic must do
Whether South Dakota requires a physician medical director for a addiction medicine / mat clinic, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.
Qualifications
Licensed physician, physician assistant, or certified nurse practitioner, engaged by written agreement or direct employment — SD does not limit this role to physicians only.
Duties the rule assigns
- advise on health-related policies and issues
- provide emergency medical care to admitted clients
- supervise medical examinations and laboratory tests at admission
- supervise the medical treatment provided to clients
Notes
Confirmed specifically for the medically-monitored intensive inpatient level of substance use disorder treatment (ARSD ch. 67:61:18) — outpatient/office-based MAT programs are licensed under the same Article 67:61 but a parallel medical-director provision for that specific level of care wasn't independently located; verify before extending this to outpatient-only MAT clinics.
