Long-Lasting Support for

Opioid Addiction Recovery

At IMHNR, we offer Injectable Buprenorphine treatments, including Sublocade and Brixadi, as part of our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program. These long-acting injections help individuals recovering from opioid addiction manage cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and stay committed to long-term recovery—with the convenience of once-weekly or once-monthly dosing.

Understanding Injectable Buprenorphine

What Is It?

Injectable Buprenorphine is a medication used to treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) by partially activating the brain’s opioid receptors without producing a high. This helps reduce the physical effects of withdrawal and cravings while preventing relapse.

Sublocade is administered monthly, while Brixadi offers both weekly and monthly options—providing flexible, sustained support. At IMHNR, we evaluate your clinical needs and lifestyle to determine the best injectable option for your recovery plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you get a Sublocade shot the same day?

3. What is injectable buprenorphine?

Injectable buprenorphine is a monthly medication that treats opioid use disorder by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

It is a long-acting form of buprenorphine given as an injection under medical supervision. Because it lasts about a month, it removes the need for daily dosing. This helps many patients stay consistent in recovery.

4. What is the injectable alternative to Suboxone?

The injectable alternative to Suboxone is a long-acting buprenorphine injection such as Sublocade.

Instead of taking a daily film or tablet, the medication is administered once a month in the office. This reduces missed doses and lowers the risk of misuse. Many patients choose it for structure and convenience.

5. How is injectable buprenorphine different from Suboxone?

Suboxone is taken daily, while injectable buprenorphine is given once a month in the office.

Both contain buprenorphine, but the injectable form provides steady medication levels for several weeks. This can reduce daily reminders and improve consistency. Your provider will help determine which option fits your lifestyle and recovery goals.

6. Which is better, Suboxone or Sublocade?

Neither is universally better. The best option depends on your recovery needs.

Some patients prefer daily control with Suboxone, while others benefit from the structure of a monthly injection. Our board-certified providers create a personalized plan based on your history, stability, and preferences. The goal is safe, steady progress.

7. Can injectable buprenorphine help prevent relapse?

Yes, monthly injectable buprenorphine lowers relapse risk by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Because the medication stays active for weeks, it provides consistent support during recovery. When combined with therapy and psychiatric care, outcomes improve significantly. Stability increases confidence and long-term success.

8. How quickly can I start treatment?

Most patients can begin treatment within 24 to 48 hours.

We prioritize fast access because timing matters in recovery. After evaluation, we create a clear plan and begin care as soon as medically appropriate. Early stabilization reduces risk and improves outcomes.

9. Is injectable buprenorphine safe?

Injectable buprenorphine is safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider.

Our board-certified team closely supervises each patient. We monitor response, adjust treatment when needed, and coordinate psychiatric support. Safety and medical oversight are built into every step of care.

10. Who is a good candidate for injectable buprenorphine?

Adults diagnosed with opioid use disorder who want a structured, long-acting option may qualify.

A medical evaluation determines eligibility and timing. We assess overall health, treatment history, and recovery goals. Patients across Plantation and Broward County choose this option for added stability.

11. How long do I need to stay on injectable buprenorphine?

Treatment length varies based on your individual recovery plan.

Some patients use it during stabilization, while others continue longer for relapse prevention. There is no fixed timeline. We adjust care based on progress and long-term goals.

12. Does insurance cover injectable buprenorphine?

Most major insurance plans cover injectable buprenorphine treatment.

We accept Medicare and many commercial plans including UnitedHealthcare, Oscar, Aetna, and Florida Blue. Coverage varies, so our team verifies benefits before treatment. This helps reduce surprises and keeps care affordable.

13. Do you provide medication management along with injectable treatment?

Yes, we provide full medication management alongside injectable treatment.

Many patients have co-occurring conditions such as depression or anxiety. Our integrated psychiatry team monitors mental health and adjusts medications as needed. Comprehensive care improves long-term stability.

14. Are Spanish-speaking services available?

Yes, Spanish-speaking staff are available.

We support patients and families in English and Spanish throughout the treatment process. Clear communication improves safety and comfort.

15. Is there an injectable buprenorphine?

Yes, buprenorphine is available as a monthly injection.

This long-acting form is administered in a medical office and supports recovery without daily dosing. It is FDA-approved and widely used for opioid use disorder treatment.

16. Do I need to be on Suboxone first before starting Sublocade?

Most patients need to be stabilized on Suboxone or buprenorphine before starting Sublocade.

This allows your provider to confirm the correct dosage and ensure your body tolerates the medication. Once stabilized, the monthly injection can replace daily dosing. Your provider will guide you through each step safely.
