SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Rose, LA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in St. Rose are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
