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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in South Windham are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
