SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wilcoe, WV.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Wilcoe are programs that are officially permitted 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 ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
