One of its obligations is the administering of opioid rehab programs, which are centers who offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to clients who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Mc Roberts are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification that was given.
