Drug administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Uncasville are programs which are legally allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT being they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements.

Opioid treatment facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification that was given.
