Methadone
Methadone is a long-lasting, affordable medication that alleviates withdrawal symptoms and prevents cravings.
Sublocade® stands out as an injectable form of buprenorphine, distinct from other medications. It effectively reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing patients to stay in treatment without the discomfort of withdrawal or the inconvenience of taking a medication every day. When combined with counseling, Sublocade® significantly increases the chances of long-lasting recovery in those struggling with opioid use.
Sublocade® injections use the active ingredient buprenorphine, which is a partial opioid agonist. It partially activates opioid receptors in the brain to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without creating the euphoric effects associated with illicit opioids, helping patients focus on their recovery with a clear mind.
By binding to the same neuroreceptors as other opioids without the euphoric effects, Sublocade® is less appealing as a drug and more helpful for patients looking to achieve long-term recovery.
Sublocade® is available in two different doses: 100mg and 300mg. This ensures all patients have access to treatment that works for their unique needs.
Unlike other medication-assisted treatment options, buprenorphine medications like Sublocade® effectively alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
The reduced cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and relapse potential of Sublocade® ensure that patients can focus their energy on other aspects of their recovery.
