SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Dixie are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.

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