Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register 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 each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification that was granted.
