Medicine given are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Salina are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.
