An opioid treatment center can receive initial 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.

Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification that was granted.
