SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Dulce are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized 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 rehabilitation center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
