The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the mental health of the United States. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Pinebluff are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized 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, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
