SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lake Providence, LA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Lake Providence are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
