The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Bethlehem are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment program can receive initial approval documentation 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 need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
