The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Mendenhall are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment center can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
