Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation programs in Ferdinand are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.
