The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Elkwood are programs who are officially permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehab program can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
