SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Radcliffe, IA.

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 United States. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Radcliffe are programs who are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs 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 office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
