Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in North Dartmouth are programs who are legally allowed to give out the medicines used in MAT being they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements.

An opioid rehab center 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 authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, it must be re-certified every year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was given.
