The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Rockingham are programs that are legally allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
