SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Georgetown, CO.

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 obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Georgetown are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

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