Medications prescribed are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in Hoffman Estates are programs which are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.
