SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Newland, NC.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Newland are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
