SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marengo, IL.

One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Marengo are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities 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 rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was given.
