The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Boody are programs who are legally permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehab facility can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
