Medications given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Albright are programs that are legally allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements.

An opioid rehab program can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate.
