New regulations in Indiana were published in January, enforcing changes made to the law in 2007 to regulate opioid treatment centers (OTCs), include PAs in its definition of an "authorized health professional," and authorize PAs to perform duties delegated by a medical director in an OTC. It also sets forth the standards by which health professionals (including PAs) may serve as counselors in these clinics and recognizes the role of PAs in managing substance abuse and opioid addiction.
