Wyoming: medical director and delegated services for an addiction medicine or MAT clinic
Whether Wyoming 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
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.
