Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Kill Devil Hills are programs who are legally allowed to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs 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 rehabilitation center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the type of accreditation that was granted.
