Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab centers in Burlingham are programs who are legally permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.
