An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
