Drug prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Elon are programs which are officially permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
