SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Two Rivers, AK.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Two Rivers are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was granted.
