In order to qualify as an opioid treatment program, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) must have approved the accrediting body that green lit the program.

When you enter an OTP, you don’t just use medication to treat substance abuse and mental health. Instead, you can expect to have access to counseling and behavioral health therapies. This is because the goal of OTPs is to provide a “whole-patient” approach to addiction.
Combining medication and therapy can help you in many ways. First of all, it helps you detox from your addiction in a safe method. It can also help you manage your withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, having access to therapy and counseling can help give you the skills you need to resist addiction in the future.
