SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Brady are programs that are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment program can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been given.
