Drug administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment centers in Cologne are programs which are officially permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also receive ancillary benefits in addition to medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab program can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities 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. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified every year or every three years depending on the type of certification it has been granted.
