The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Atascadero are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation program can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
