The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Davidson are programs that are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment center can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
