SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ashland, MS.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Ashland are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
