Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Boy River are programs that are officially permitted to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch.
