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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Stratford are programs that are officially allowed to give out 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 auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, 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 via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
