The use of accreditation has been widespread among medical care providers, but accreditation is relatively new to the drug abuse treatment field. This study presents estimates of the costs of pursuing accreditation for methadone treatment sites. Data are from 102 methadone treatment sites that underwent accreditation as part of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment's evaluation of the Opioid Treatment Program Accreditation Project. The analysis represents the most comprehensive analysis of the costs of pursuing accreditation by a health care provider. Importantly, it is the first analysis of the costs of pursuing accreditation by drug treatment providers. Policy makers and drug treatment providers can use this analysis to plan the labor requirements and costs of future accreditation initiatives.
认证的使用在医疗服务提供者中已很普遍，但在药物滥用治疗领域认证相对较新。本研究给出了美沙酮治疗场所寻求认证的成本估算。数据来自102个美沙酮治疗场所，这些场所作为物质滥用治疗中心对阿片类药物治疗项目认证项目评估的一部分接受了认证。该分析是医疗服务提供者对寻求认证成本进行的最全面分析。重要的是，这是药物治疗提供者对寻求认证成本的首次分析。政策制定者和药物治疗提供者可利用此分析来规划未来认证举措的劳动力需求和成本。
