The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Tintah are programs that are officially allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.
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 facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been given.
