SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wellston, OH.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Wellston are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
