The monies may be expended for professional fees for services at an approved treatment facility or in contract for advancement or reimbursement of services provided at an approved treatment facility or any other appropriate manner and may be used for any purpose necessary to provide evaluation and treatment at approved treatment facilities. These monies may not be used for salaries or any other purpose within the administration but may be used for consultation services in the interest of approved treatment facilities.

A public or private treatment facility providing or intending to provide evaluation and treatment and desiring to contract with the administration for the furnishing of such services shall submit a program, plan and budget to the administration on the forms and in the manner required by the administration.
