Medicine given are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Wapakoneta are programs that are officially permitted to give out the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary benefits aside from medication like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation that was granted.
