The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Jackson are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment program can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification it has been given.
