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

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Lando are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
