Monthly Sublocade: simplifying opioid addiction treatment. Here are three things to know. Sublocade is a once-monthly, extended-release injection of buprenorphine, for moderate to severe opioid use disorder. A health care provider gives it once a month, which removes the daily job of taking medicine. That can help people with busy schedules or those who struggle to remember pills. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. It acts on the same brain receptors as opioids, but in a more controlled way. Sublocade releases it steadily over about thirty days, keeping levels stable. That helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Most people first take daily buprenorphine under the tongue, such as Suboxone, to stabilize their symptoms. Once stable, the switch to Sublocade can happen. Sublocade is part of medication-assisted treatment, which pairs medicine with counseling and behavioral therapies. Talk with your provider about whether it fits you. Read the full article at hopeintegrativemed.com. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
