One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment facilities, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Garden City are programs which are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
