The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the mental health of the nation. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Lemoore are programs which are legally permitted to give out the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
