Medicine administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals.

One of these requirements is that MAT clients must also get auxiliary benefits in addition to medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation center can get their basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, 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 via a local DEA branch. Once an opioid rehab center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every three years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been given.
