One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Burnsville are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment 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 via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
