SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Chilhowee are programs which are officially permitted to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements.

Opioid treatment programs 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, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
