One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Westville are programs that are legally permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation 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 branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the type of certification that was given.
