SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ashaway, RI.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Ashaway are programs that are legally allowed to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive initial approval documentation 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. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was given.
