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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Salem are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their basic approval documentation 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 branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
