One of its responsibilities is the administering of opioid rehab facilities, which are programs who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid dependency and addiction. Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Clarksville are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
