SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fountain Inn, SC.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Fountain Inn are programs which are legally permitted to give out 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 receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
