The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Cummings are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment program can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
