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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Rensselaer are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medicines 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 medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
