Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Hartsdale are programs that are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements.
