Drug prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Bodega Bay are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehab facility can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab 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 each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation that was given.
