SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Melvin, AL.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Melvin are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
