The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Soldier are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment center can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
