SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Grambling, LA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Grambling are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was given.
