The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Gary are programs that are legally allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment program can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
