SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bethel, CT.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Bethel are programs which are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, 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 need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
