SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - West Sayville, NY.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the United States. One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in West Sayville are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as 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 such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
