One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Durham are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
