SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Barkhamsted, CT.

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 duties is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Barkhamsted are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register 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 every year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was given.
