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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Strawn are programs that are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been granted.
