The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Bloomingdale are programs that are legally allowed to give out 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 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 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 office. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
