Medications prescribed are drugs such as buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted individuals. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Rockport are programs who are officially allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT being they maintain their certification 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 rehab center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs accredited by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation facility is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years contingent upon the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
