An opioid treatment facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.

Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was granted.
