One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Avon are programs which are officially permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
