The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Hawi are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
