The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the United States. One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Arlington are programs which are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities 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 rehabilitation center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
