Who is allowed to approve a treatment facility for use in a monitoring agreement?

• A. Program administrators
• B. Board liaisons
• C. The participant
• D. The client's attorney

Answer: (B)

Approval of a treatment facility for use in a monitoring agreement comes from the board through its designated representatives. Board liaisons act as the official link between the regulatory board and treatment providers, and they review facilities to ensure they meet required standards, credentials, supervision requirements, confidentiality, and reporting obligations. This ensures the facility is appropriate, appropriate for monitoring needs, and aligned with professional rules and client safety.

Other roles do not carry that formal authority. Program administrators manage facility operations but don’t have the board’s delegated approval power for monitoring agreements. The participant cannot grant regulatory approval for a facility, and the client's attorney generally advises on rights and options but does not authorize facilities on behalf of the board.
