Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Guasti are programs who are officially allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
