Medications administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment programs in Saul are programs that are officially allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation program can receive initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, however, are required to get their full accreditation in a year. Opioid rehab programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA branch.
