A requirement that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab center can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs 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 rehab program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
