One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Long Barn are programs which are legally allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
