SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dartmouth, MA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Dartmouth are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
