Drug prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Bennett are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
