Medicine administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Protection are programs which are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get ancillary services in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.
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.
