The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the behavioral health of the nation. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Woodbridge are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment facility can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
