One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Farmington are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
