SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bakersfield, VT.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency responsible for efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Bakersfield are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within 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 rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
