SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Okolona, MS.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Okolona are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was given.
