Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Bliss are programs which are officially allowed to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid treatment program can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state.

Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
