SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Monticello, GA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Monticello are programs which are officially permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized 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, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
