The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department responsible for health efforts to promote the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its responsibilities is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Aurora are programs that are legally permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.

Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
