SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Jackson are programs that are officially allowed to distribute the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can receive initial 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. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
