The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Abilene are programs which are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized 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 facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
