SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Nimrod are programs that are legally permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements.

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 treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
