One of its duties is the administering of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are centers that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Drug prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Nogales are programs which are legally allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.
