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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Havelock are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
