SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Brewer, ME.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Brewer are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
