SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mission, SD.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Mission are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the medicines 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 get auxiliary services in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was given.
