One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Mahaska are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
