SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Tuppers Plains are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehab facility can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was granted.
