An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state.

Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was granted.
