One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Sutter are programs who are legally permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities 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 rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was given.
