One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in College Station are programs that are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
