§43A-3-408.
   
   Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services shall be administered by the Authority
   in conformity with the following guidelines:
   
   1. The Authority shall purchase alcohol and drug abuse services which
   shall be specified in a contract entered into by the Authority and the
   service provider or other contractor. Payments to contractors shall be
   made for services which have been rendered and shall be based on
   actual costs incurred for providing such services, which shall not
   exceed predetermined costs for such services. Such costs shall be
   determined and published according to the provisions of Section 3-426
   of the Mental Health Law. The Authority may by rule impose a ceiling
   on the amount any such contractor may collect during the fiscal year;
   
   2. No more than five percent (5%) of funds appropriated for Alcohol
   and Drug Abuse Services may be used by the Authority for
   administration of the provisions of the Oklahoma Alcohol and Drug
   Abuse Services Act; in no instance shall any of these funds be used
   for research purposes by any employee of the Department of Mental
   Health and Substance Abuse Services;
   
   3. None of the funds shall be paid to a contractor unless a plan for
   alcohol or drug abuse services in the region in which the contractor
   is located has been submitted to and approved by the Authority; and
   
   4. Contractors and subcontractors who are service providers shall be
   approved treatment facilities. The management systems of contractors
   and subcontractors who are not service providers shall conform to
   management criteria prescribed by the Authority.
