A list of authorized methodone providers shall be provided to jail personnel by Correctional Health Services (CHS). This list is generated by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, Alcohol and Drug Program Administration. Methodone providers for inmates shall be identified from this authorization list, prior to entry into any jail facility. CHS is not responsible for the security clearance of the outside methodone clinic staff. This shall be the responsibility of the jail facilities.
Upon the verification of the methodone provider, these persons shall be allowed entry into the jail facility and shall be escorted by jail personnel to the medical area. Upon completion of administering the methodone, medical staff shall notify jail personnel the methodone provider is ready to be escorted from the medical area to the jail entry.
