Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Peak are programs which are officially allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid treatment center can receive initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification that was given.
