The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Fairbanks are programs who are legally permitted to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office.
