The Virginia Department of Corrections is expanding its Medication Assisted Treatment program in order to serve more inmates and probationers struggling with Medications for Opioid Use Disorder. The expansion now allows buprenorphine continuations for individuals with verified prescriptions for the treatment of the disorder. Buprenorphine is a prescription medication approved by the FDA to dimmish the effects of physical dependency to opioids, increases safety in cases of overdose, and lowers the potential for misuse.
