The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States.

Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Waycross are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.
