One of its duties is the supervision of opioid treatment facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Oak Grove are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was given.
