SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Cosby are programs who are legally permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary benefits in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.
An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab 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 through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
