SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Nanjemoy, MD.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Nanjemoy are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can get their initial certification 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. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
