One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid rehabilitation programs, which are programs that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to individuals who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medicine prescribed are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Charleston are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements.
