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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the administering of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Islandia are programs who are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
