A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was given.
