One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Polkton are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
