Medicine given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
