SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Green Pond, SC.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Green Pond are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can receive basic certification 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 must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
