The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Pawtucket are programs who are officially allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was granted.
