SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Stover are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab facility can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
