Understanding Your Treatment

What Is Sublocade?

Sublocade is an FDA-approved, once-monthly injection containing buprenorphine. It is designed for individuals who have already stabilized on an oral form of buprenorphine before transitioning to the injectable option.
Because it is administered monthly by a medical professional, Sublocade:

Provides consistent medication levels

Eliminates daily dosing requirements

Reduces risk of missed doses

Lowers misuse potential

Supports improved treatment adherence

How Sublocade Treatment Works

Before beginning Sublocade, patients typically complete a stabilization period on oral buprenorphine. Once clinically appropriate, the monthly injection is administered in-office under medical supervision.
