One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are centers that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people.

One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification that was granted.
