One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Ehrhardt are programs that are officially permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
