Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
