The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Schenectady are programs that are legally allowed to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
