SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Olds, 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 United States. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Olds are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive basic 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. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
