SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Waco are programs which are officially permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was granted.
