SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Casa, AR.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Casa are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
