The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Leavenworth are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
