The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Clio are programs which are legally allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been given.
