SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Freeborn, MN.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Freeborn are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
