Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation facilities in Alta are programs that are legally permitted to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehab center can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state.
