An opioid rehab center can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been granted.
