The Process

Your Sublocade journey moves from intake to injection in a clear sequence: intake, assessment, buprenorphine stabilization, first injection, then monthly follow-ups. Most visits are brief, private, and focused on what’s working.

1. Same-day intake: Begin via our secure portal or walk in. You’re seen by a nurse and then a physician the same day you start.
2. Clinical assessment: History, goals, and any co-occurring conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression).
3. Stabilization: Daily buprenorphine for about a week (clinician-directed).
4. First injection: Subcutaneous abdomen injection; plan your after-visit routine.
5. Monthly follow-up: Injection every 4 weeks (approximately 26–30 days), side-effect review, and progress check.

We keep logistics simple with reminders, pharmacy coordination, and supportive coaching between visits. If your needs change, your plan can too—switching within OAT is part of personalized care.

How Sublocade Works (Plain English)

Sublocade releases buprenorphine steadily from a small depot under the skin, keeping levels consistent between visits. After initiation, most patients return monthly for 100–300 mg clinician-directed dosing, with adjustments based on cravings and comfort.

After a simple subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, the medication forms a gel-like depot that dissolves gradually. This design reduces daily decision fatigue and supports consistent receptor coverage between appointments.

• Depot science: Background on polymers used in long-acting injectables can be found in this overview of PLGA for drug delivery.
• Release testing: Laboratory methods illustrate how sustained-release profiles are evaluated; see a primer on in vitro release testing for depots.
• Design goal: Consistent levels over weeks so patients can focus on work, school, and family.

While the science behind extended-release formulations is complex, the lived experience is straightforward: fewer peaks and troughs, more time for life, and a visit cadence that fits a busy schedule.

Pricing (What to Consider)

We don’t list prices online because coverage varies, but we help you understand options and paperwork. Our focus is value: fewer daily hurdles, safer routines, and a plan that supports long-term recovery.

• Coverage navigation: We review your situation and help organize documentation.
• Value lens: Monthly dosing can reduce interruptions at work and home.
• Right-sized care: If Sublocade isn’t the best fit, we recommend alternatives.
• Time saved: Monthly visits replace daily management and frequent pharmacy trips.
