The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Carbondale are programs which are legally allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment center can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
