SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Highland Lake, NY.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Highland Lake are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment 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 branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
