Medicine prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Point Reyes Station are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements.
