SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lake Station, IN.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Lake Station are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized 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 branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
