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

One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Landrum are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been granted.
