The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Amsterdam are programs that are officially permitted to dispense 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 auxiliary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment facility can receive basic approval documentation 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. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
