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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Chatawa are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized 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 office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
