SB 5019: Opiate substitutn treatment

Changing provisions relating to opiate substitution treatment programs.

Summary

  • The current statute is amended. Reference to "methadone and other like pharmacological" drugs is eliminated and is replaced with "opiate substitution drugs," because the current statutory description may exclude drugs newly developed as opiate substitutes that have a different pharmacological structure from methadone.
