SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Teton, ID.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Teton are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
