One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Parkersburg are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was given.
