SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Palestine, WV.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Palestine are programs which are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within 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 through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
