One of its duties is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients.

One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
