SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Millington, IL.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Millington are programs who are legally permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized 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 center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
