SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Mount Nebo, WV.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Mount Nebo are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
