SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Whitesburg, GA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Whitesburg are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was given.
