Medications administered are drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs that help withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid dependent individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Three Way are programs that are legally allowed to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements.
