One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Dixon are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
