The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Mexia are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
