SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rialto, CA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Rialto are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
