The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Brandywine are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment facility can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited 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 branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was given.
