SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Truesdale, IA.

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 United States. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Truesdale are programs which are legally permitted to give out 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 clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, 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 must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
