Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs which help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Ashland are programs that are officially allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and always maintain the necessary requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid rehabilitation facility can get their initial certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment programs authorized by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. In addition, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA office. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, they need to get re-certified every year or every three years depending on the kind of accreditation it has been granted.
