SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Winslow, IN.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Winslow are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
