SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - New Almaden, CA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in New Almaden are programs who are legally permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as 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 medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification that was given.
