This section establishes the scope of Chapter 709, which sets out licensing procedures and operational standards for freestanding drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Pennsylvania. It applies to the physical locations from which drug and alcohol services are provided, and a single facility may hold licenses for more than one service activity. The chapter is issued under the authority of Articles IX and X of the Public Welfare Code. Compliance staff should treat this as the governing framework for all SUD-related facility licensure covered in the chapter's sibling sections, including detoxification and treatment/rehabilitation services.
