SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Pickens, SC.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Pickens are programs who are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs 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 rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification it has been given.
