Medications given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in East Randolph are programs that are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.
