South Dakota: medical director and delegated services for an addiction medicine or MAT clinic
Whether South Dakota requires a physician medical director for an addiction medicine or MAT clinic, the qualifications, duties, and what the state says about the staff who deliver protocol-driven services.
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.
