SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cazadero, CA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Cazadero are programs who are officially allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
