SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cannon, KY.

One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Cannon are programs that are legally allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic approval documentation 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 branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
