One of its duties is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Pasadena are programs who are legally allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehabilitation 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 treatment facilities 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 rehab program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
