SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Springfield are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been given.
