Drug given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Ward are programs who are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements.
