The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Erskine are programs that are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT being 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 psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
