One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment 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 branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
