One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehab programs, which are programs who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Charleston are programs that are legally permitted to give out the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited 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 rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
