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

An opioid rehab center can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
