SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Birmingham, MI.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the United States. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Birmingham are programs that are officially permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities 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 treatment center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been given.
