Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Brooksville are programs which are officially allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get ancillary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

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