The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Allentown 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. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment facility can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
