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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Pleasant Garden are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been granted.
