The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Pikeville are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
