The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the nation. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Haynesville are programs which are officially allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment facility 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 need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been granted.
