Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Gretna are programs who are officially allowed to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.

Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification that was given.
