One of its obligations is the supervision of opioid rehab programs, which are programs which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Shell Lake are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab program can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
