SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Stafford, CT.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Stafford are programs that are officially permitted to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
