SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Boothville are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized 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 treatment program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
