The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Ville Platte are programs who are legally allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited 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 treatment program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
