SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Flemingsburg, KY.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Flemingsburg are programs who are legally allowed to give out the medicines 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 aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment 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 via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
