SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dumont, IA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Dumont are programs which are officially permitted to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities 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 rehabilitation program is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
