Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehab programs in Collierville are programs which are legally permitted to distribute the drugs used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also get auxiliary services in addition to medication such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehab facility can receive basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited 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 treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been given.
