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

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 supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Winton are programs who are officially allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been granted.
