A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
