SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Syria, VA.

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 U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Syria are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs 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 treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was granted.
