SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Scotland are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
