A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment program can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities authorized 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 office. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation it has been given.
