Medications administered are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab facilities in New Brunswick are programs which are legally allowed to give out the drugs used in MAT being they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.
An opioid treatment program can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehab facilities accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is certified, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
