Medicine administered are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Trufant are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid rehabilitation program can get their initial certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the type of certification it has been granted.
