SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Quinton, VA.

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 duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Quinton are programs who are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
