SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dodge Center, MN.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Dodge Center are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation 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 program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
