SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Albion, IN.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Albion are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
