Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Norwood are programs that are officially allowed to dispense the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their initial approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
