LONG-ACTING BUPRENORPHINE TREATMENT

Long-acting buprenorphine treatment with BRIXADI® & SUBLOCADE®

Meet with a DevotedDOc clinician online for opioid use disorder treatment. If BRIXADI® or SUBLOCADE® is clinically appropriate, we coordinate your treatment and local injection access while continuing your addiction care through telemedicine. If a daily buprenorphine option such as Suboxone® is a better fit, we can manage that treatment online as well.

How Treatment Works

Get BRIXADI or SUBLOCADE locally — keep your addiction care online

DevotedDOc remains your addiction-medicine care team. The part of treatment that must happen in person — the injection itself — takes place at an appropriate local medical clinic.

THE MEDICATION

What is long-acting injectable buprenorphine?

Buprenorphine is an evidence-based medication for opioid use disorder that helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It is one of the most established treatments in addiction medicine, and daily films or tablets work well for many patients.

Taking medication every day is not the only option. BRIXADI® and SUBLOCADE® are extended-release forms of buprenorphine, administered as an injection under the skin by a healthcare professional rather than self-injected at home.

The right formulation depends on your medical history, your current treatment, your preferences and your clinical needs. Injectable buprenorphine is one option within a broader OUD treatment program — not a better option for every patient.

WHAT AN EXTENDED-RELEASE FORMULATION CAN CHANGE
01
Removes the need to remember a daily dose
02
Removes routine storage of buprenorphine films or tablets at home
03
Provides sustained medication exposure between injections
04
May simplify treatment for appropriate patients who want to move away from a daily dosing routine
TWO EXTENDED-RELEASE OPTIONS

BRIXADI® vs SUBLOCADE®: two long-acting buprenorphine options

Both medications contain extended-release buprenorphine and are administered by a healthcare professional. They differ in dosing schedules, initiation requirements, available doses and other practical considerations. Your clinician can help determine whether either option fits your treatment plan.

BRIXADI®

WEEKLY OR MONTHLY

Weekly or monthly extended-release buprenorphine, given as an injection under the skin.

  • Weekly and monthly formulations
  • Administered subcutaneously by a healthcare professional
  • Multiple dosing schedules give your clinician more than one rhythm to work with
  • Requires clinician evaluation to determine appropriate initiation and dose
Explore BRIXADI →

SUBLOCADE®

MONTHLY

Monthly extended-release buprenorphine, given as an injection under the skin.

  • Monthly formulation
  • Administered subcutaneously by a healthcare professional
  • Designed to provide sustained buprenorphine exposure between monthly doses
  • Requires clinician evaluation to determine appropriate initiation and dose
Explore SUBLOCADE →

Not sure which option fits your treatment plan?

AN INJECTION IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION

DevotedDOc also provides ongoing telemedicine treatment with daily buprenorphine when appropriate.

Treatment Transitions

Already taking Suboxone® or
daily buprenorphine?

Many patients researching BRIXADI® or SUBLOCADE® are already taking daily buprenorphine. A DevotedDOc clinician can review your current treatment, discuss whether a long-acting injection makes sense, and continue your daily buprenorphine treatment online if that remains the better option.

BRIXADI® and SUBLOCADE® have different initiation and dosing requirements. Your clinician will review your current buprenorphine treatment, clinical stability, and the appropriate way to transition if a long-acting formulation is selected. Transitions are clinician-directed, and you should not change your medication on your own.

Privacy · Convenience · Flexibility

Long-Acting Treatment With Less Day-to-Day Friction

BRIXADI® and SUBLOCADE® can reduce the daily routine of taking, storing and carrying buprenorphine films or tablets. For appropriate patients, weekly or monthly treatment can make opioid use disorder care more discreet and easier to fit around work, travel, family and everyday life.

With DevotedDOc, you do not have to move your entire addiction treatment to a new clinic. Your evaluation, treatment planning, medication management and follow-up can continue through telemedicine. Only the injection itself needs to happen locally.

The result is a more private, flexible treatment experience while keeping an ongoing relationship with your DevotedDOc care team.

Your Care Stays Online

  • Addiction-medicine evaluation
  • Treatment planning and medication selection
  • Prescription or clinical order when appropriate
  • Ongoing medication management

Your Injection Happens Locally

  • Benefits verification, when applicable
  • Prior authorization, when required
  • Medication acquisition

Independent injection sites are separate healthcare businesses. They are not DevotedDOc offices unless specifically identified otherwise.
Insurance & Access

We help with the steps between prescription and injection

You do not need to figure out specialty medication logistics on your own. Depending on your insurance plan and injection site, the process may include benefit verification, prior authorization and medication acquisition before your appointment. Coverage varies by plan, and requirements are checked before treatment whenever applicable.

Prior Authorization Requirements Vary

Prior authorization requirements vary by state and health plan. Some Medicaid programs may allow certain long-acting buprenorphine products to be covered without a traditional prior authorization when applicable program requirements are met. Other plans may require prior authorization, additional clinical documentation, quantity-limit review or other utilization-management requirements. We verify the applicable coverage pathway before treatment whenever possible.

01

Benefit verification

We check how your health plan handles the medication and the administering location.

02

Prior authorization — when required

Some plans require prior authorization for long-acting buprenorphine. Others may allow coverage without a traditional PA when applicable program criteria are met.

03

Medical vs pharmacy benefit

How the medication is covered and billed can vary by health plan and site of care.

04

Medication acquisition

The administering healthcare setting coordinates access to the medication through the applicable coverage pathway.

05

Injection coordination

Once the treatment and access pathway are confirmed, administration is coordinated with the local site.

State-Specific Coverage Can Differ

Coverage rules for long-acting buprenorphine can vary substantially by state. For example, California Medi-Cal Rx currently lists extended-release buprenorphine products on its Contract Drugs List with quantity-limit requirements. Depending on the product and applicable program criteria, a traditional prior authorization may not always be required. State-specific pages provide more detailed coverage and access information where available.

If an injectable medication is not covered or is not the right fit, your clinician can also discuss daily buprenorphine treatment.

Coverage information is educational and is not a guarantee of benefits, authorization or payment.

Treatment Options

Not sure you want an injection?

You do not have to choose BRIXADI® or SUBLOCADE® to start treatment with DevotedDOc.

Some patients come to us specifically looking for a weekly or monthly injection. Others begin by comparing their options and decide that daily buprenorphine better fits their treatment needs, insurance, schedule or preferences. Your clinician can discuss both approaches and help determine what makes sense for you.

FAQs

Questions patients ask first

Short answers here, with deeper detail on the dedicated medication, insurance and location pages.

DevotedDOc's licensed clinicians evaluate patients for buprenorphine treatment through secure telehealth visits, consistent with current federal and state requirements. If BRIXADI or SUBLOCADE is appropriate, we send the order and documentation to a local injection clinic — telemedicine covers the evaluation and prescribing, but the medication itself must be administered by a healthcare professional at an approved local setting.
No. DevotedDOc provides the online evaluation, treatment plan, prescription or clinical order and ongoing follow-up. The injection is administered at an independent local medical clinic that DevotedDOc does not own or operate.
Confirmed injection access today is in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, through an independent clinic with three sites. Select your state on the map or dropdown above — states with available access open a state page with a map of served metros, and each metro page lists local injection access for that area. If there isn't yet a clinic near you, you can still start treatment with DevotedDOc online; daily buprenorphine may be an appropriate option while we work to expand access to your region. Your care team confirms the exact site and address when your appointment is scheduled.
Coverage varies by health plan, state, medication and administering location. Some plans require prior authorization, though certain Medicaid programs may allow covered long-acting buprenorphine without a traditional prior authorization when program requirements are met — for example, California Medi-Cal Rx currently lists extended-release buprenorphine products on its Contract Drugs List subject to quantity-limit requirements. What you pay also depends on whether the medication is billed under a pharmacy or medical benefit, your cost-sharing, and eligibility for manufacturer assistance programs. DevotedDOc and/or the administering site verify the applicable coverage pathway before treatment whenever possible, though coverage, authorization and final cost are not guaranteed. Learn about insurance & medication access →
Many patients taking daily buprenorphine may be candidates for transition to BRIXADI or SUBLOCADE. Whether it's appropriate — and which one — depends on your current treatment and individual clinical factors; BRIXADI also has its own initiation requirements. Your DevotedDOc clinician builds the transition plan and timing with you; we do not provide dosing instructions online.
Both are extended-release buprenorphine injections given by a healthcare professional. BRIXADI has weekly and monthly formulations; SUBLOCADE is monthly. Which one fits depends on your clinical picture. Compare BRIXADI & SUBLOCADE →
Telemedicine visits continue between injections to review cravings, side effects, recovery goals and whether the formulation is still the right fit. The administering site confirms each administration back to your DevotedDOc care team.

Treatment eligibility is individualized. Completing an evaluation does not guarantee that a particular medication will be prescribed, that BRIXADI®, SUBLOCADE®, daily buprenorphine or any other treatment will be clinically appropriate, or that a transition to a long-acting formulation, a specific dose or a specific regimen will be recommended. Do not start, stop or change a medication without direction from your clinician.
