Medications given are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Beverly are programs who are officially permitted to dispense the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also receive ancillary services in addition to medication such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
