Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sublocade® used for?
Sublocade® is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) in adults. It is a long-acting injectable form of buprenorphine that helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms while supporting long-term recovery. Sublocade® is typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes ongoing medical care and recovery support.
How often are Sublocade® injections given?
Sublocade® is administered once a month by a qualified healthcare provider. Because it is an extended-release injection, the medication is gradually released throughout the month, providing consistent treatment without the need for daily medication.
Is Sublocade® a long-term treatment?
The length of Sublocade® treatment varies based on each individual’s recovery progress, medical history, and treatment goals. Some patients may benefit from longer-term therapy, while others may transition to a different treatment plan over time. Your provider will regularly evaluate your progress and recommend the most appropriate course of care.
Will my provider monitor my progress?
Yes. Regular follow-up appointments are an important part of Sublocade® treatment. During these visits, your provider will monitor your response to the medication, discuss your recovery progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to your treatment plan when necessary to support your long-term success.
