The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Saddle River are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been given.
