The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Richmond are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial 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 must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
