One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid treatment programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in National City are programs which are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation it has been granted.
