The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Fort Bayard are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
