SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rimrock, AZ.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Rimrock are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the medicines 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 get ancillary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
