SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Calabash, NC.

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 United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Calabash are programs who are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
