(b) The care and treatment of a patient receiving chemical dependency treatment in a facility licensed by the department under this chapter are governed by the same standards that govern the care and treatment of a patient receiving treatment in a treatment facility licensed under Chapter 464, to the same extent as if the standards were rules adopted under this chapter.

(c) The department shall enforce the standards provided by Subsections (a) and (b).

The department is not required to enforce a standard if the enforcement violates a federal law, rule, or regulation.
