SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Zuni are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment facility can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation 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 branch. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
