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

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
