A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment center can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
