SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Culver City, CA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Culver City are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can get their basic 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. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
