One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are centers which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Rockham are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been given.
