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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Thompson are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the drugs 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 receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
