One of its responsibilities is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Drug given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Winchester are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid treatment facility can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited 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 approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
