Drug administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Gilcrest are programs that are officially allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment facility can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the type of certification it has been granted.
