The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Portsmouth are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was given.
