SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Aberdeen, NC.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Aberdeen are programs which are legally permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs 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 certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was granted.
