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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Redwood Estates are programs that are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been granted.
