SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Fish Haven, ID.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Fish Haven are programs that are legally permitted to dispense the drugs 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 receive auxiliary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been given.
