Methadone Clinics in Virginia use MAT to work on the brain system, to rebalance the chemistry. Also, used to end the craving for the drug and reduce painful withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is used to reduce the side effects of the drug. A support system is also created for patients, with families, friends, peers, and other patients. This creates education and sensitization of opioid abuse, between patients and members of their communities. This will discourage others to end up in the same situation.
