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

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment facility is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
