Drug prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Windom are programs who are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary services aside from medicine like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab program can receive initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been given.
