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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Denton are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
