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

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 U.S.. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Damascus are programs which are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
