SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Luna, NM.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Luna are programs who are legally permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
