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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Hineston are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the drugs 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 ancillary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
