Wyoming: what a medical director of a addiction medicine / mat clinic must do
Whether Wyoming requires a physician medical director for a addiction medicine / mat clinic, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.
Qualifications
Physician licensed to practice medicine in the jurisdiction where the opioid treatment program (OTP) is located, per 42 C.F.R. § 8.12's federal definition.
Duties the rule assigns
- Assumes responsibility for all medical and behavioral health services performed by the OTP, including its administration (42 C.F.R. § 8.12)
- Ensures the program's compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws/rules
- Determines dispensing of unsupervised-use ('take-home') medication beyond the default federal threshold (42 C.F.R. § 8.12(i))
Notes
No Wyoming-specific statute/rule requiring an OTP medical director was found (Title 35 never uses the phrase) — this rests entirely on the FEDERAL baseline: any methadone/buprenorphine OTP in Wyoming must be SAMHSA-certified and comply with 42 C.F.R. Part 8 regardless of state law. Lower confidence than WA's parallel entry, where a state rule (WAC 246-341-1000) confirms the same federal incorporation by reference.
