SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Jefferson are programs which are officially allowed to distribute 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 aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been granted.
