SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sheffield, IL.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Sheffield are programs that are officially allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment center can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
