What is Sublocade?

Sublocade is an FDA-approved treatment for opioid use disorder recovery, available through a restricted program known as Sublocade REMS Program, for patients who have initiated buprenorphine treatment. It’s a buprenorphine injection that would be administered to the patient once a month by a certified provider. The treatment plan includes counseling for emotions and behaviors linked to addiction to ensure the best results possible.

How Does Sublocade Work?

The Sublocade injection is administered once a month, after this it releases buprenorphine gradually, at a sustained level throughout the entirety of the month. When a person receives a Sublocade shot monthly, they would count with a continuous delivery of buprenorphine at a controlled rate during the whole month, with no daily ups and downs.
