An opioid treatment program can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
