SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Greens Farms, 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 nation. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Greens Farms are programs who are legally permitted to distribute the medicines 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 medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment center can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
