SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Halifax, VA.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Halifax are programs that are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized 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 office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been granted.
