Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Lewisburg are programs that are officially permitted to distribute the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get ancillary services aside from medicine like counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment program can get their basic approval documentation while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation facilities authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation center is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation that was granted.
