INITIAL COMMENTS
 
Based on the concerns arising from COVID-19, The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, Bureau of Quality Assurance for Prevention and Treatment, has implemented temporary procedures for conducting an annual renewal inspection.

The inspection will be divided into two parts.

Part 1, an abbreviated off-site inspection, will be conducted off site, and will require the submission of administrative information via email to a Licensing Specialist.

Part 2, an abbreviated on-site inspection, will be conducted on-site, at a later date and will include a review of client/patient records, and a physical plant inspection.

This report is a result of Part 1, an abbreviated off-site inspection, conducted on July 16, 2020, by staff from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, Bureau of Quality Assurance for Prevention and Treatment. Not all regulations were reviewed, the remainder of the regulations, not reviewed during Part 1, will be reviewed at a later date.
