The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Perth Amboy are programs that are legally permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehab program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
