SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cranberry Isles, ME.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Cranberry Isles are programs who are legally permitted to give out the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized 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 office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
