The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Providence are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehab facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
