An opioid rehab program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.

Once an opioid rehab center is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of certification it has been granted.
