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 U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Chatsworth are programs who are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment center can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was granted.
