SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sidney, MT.

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 obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Sidney are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
