SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Waverly, GA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Waverly are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment facility 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.
