SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Odenton, MD.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Odenton are programs that are officially allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment facility can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
