SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lumber City, GA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Lumber City are programs who are legally 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 clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 treatment facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been granted.
