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 United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Freedom are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehabilitation program 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. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
