Sublocade

Sublocade is a medicine that helps treat opioid use disorder.

It is a once-a-month shot that contains buprenorphine, a medication that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Because it lasts all month, you do not need to take a daily pill or film.

Sublocade works by:

• Helping control cravings
• Preventing withdrawal symptoms
• Lowering the risk of returning to use unprescribed opioids

The shot is given by a healthcare provider under the skin in your belly, arm, thigh or buttock. It slowly releases medicine into your body over time.

Many people like Sublocade because it is:

• Long-lasting
• Private
• Easy to keep up with
• Helpful for staying on track with recovery

Your provider will talk with you about whether Sublocade is a good choice for you and answer any questions you may have.
