One of its duties is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid addiction and dependency. Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Weir are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
