SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Hurley are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can receive basic certification 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. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
