SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Craig, CO.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Craig are programs that are officially allowed to give out the drugs 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 services aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment facility can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited 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 office. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
