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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Millinocket are programs who are legally permitted to dispense 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 ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was granted.
