SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Liberty, PA.

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 obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Liberty are programs who are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
