Long-Acting Buprenorphine
Treatment in New York
Buprenorphine is a medication used to treat opioid use disorder. It reduces cravings and withdrawal and is one of the most established treatments for OUD.
Traditional formulations such as films or tablets are usually taken every day. Extended-release formulations release buprenorphine over a longer period, which removes the daily dosing routine and the need to keep medication at home.
BRIXADI and SUBLOCADE are both extended-release buprenorphine formulations. Both are administered by a healthcare professional rather than self-injected. Whether either one is a good fit depends on your history, your current medication, and your clinical picture — that determination is made by your clinician.
BRIXADI®
Weekly and monthly long-acting buprenorphine options
BRIXADI is given as an injection under the skin on either a weekly or a monthly schedule, which gives your clinician more than one dosing rhythm to work with. It is administered by a healthcare professional at a clinic.
SUBLOCADE®
Monthly extended-release buprenorphine
SUBLOCADE is given as a monthly injection administered by a healthcare professional. One appointment a month covers your buprenorphine dosing for that month.

Does Insurance Cover BRIXADI
or SUBLOCADE in New York?
Coverage varies by health plan and by administration site. Commercial insurance, Medicare and New York Medicaid plans may cover extended-release buprenorphine, often subject to prior authorization or other plan requirements. Benefits should always be verified before an injection is scheduled.
How coverage generally works in New York. Not a guarantee of coverage or payment.
| Coverage Type | What to Expect |
|---|---|
|
Commercial insurance
|
BRIXADI and SUBLOCADE may be covered under a medical or pharmacy benefit, depending on the plan and administration site. Prior authorization may be required. Manufacturer copay-savings programs are available for some eligible commercially insured patients; government-program patients are excluded. |
|
Medicare & Medicare Advantage
|
Coverage depends on your specific benefits, the medication and how the administration site bills for it. The receiving site should verify benefits, patient cost-sharing and any authorization requirements before scheduling. |
|
New York Medicaid
|
BRIXADI and SUBLOCADE may be covered for eligible New York Medicaid members. Coverage and prior-authorization requirements can vary by Medicaid managed care plan and by how the medication is supplied and billed. The applicable plan requirements should be verified for each patient before an injection is scheduled. |
|
Self-pay
|
Cash pricing varies by administration site. Ask for an estimate for the medication and administration before scheduling. Manufacturer patient-assistance resources may also be available depending on eligibility. |
Medication coverage and administration-site participation are two different things
A medication may be covered by your health plan even when a particular New York injection or administration site does not participate with that plan. DevotedDOc and the receiving site verify the applicable access pathway before treatment is scheduled.
If you have New York Medicaid
BRIXADI or SUBLOCADE may be covered through your New York Medicaid benefits, but not every participating administration site accepts every Medicaid managed care plan or can bill the medication and administration through the same benefit. If you have New York Medicaid, contact us and we'll help you understand your options and identify an available administration pathway when possible.
Medication coverage through your health plan does not mean statewide injection access. Injection availability depends on the medication, participating administration locations, your specific health plan and any applicable authorization requirements.
Coverage information is educational and is not a guarantee of benefits, authorization or payment. Plan requirements and administration-site participation can change. Your benefits and applicable access requirements are verified before an injection is scheduled.
Why BRIXADI and SUBLOCADE Are Given by a Healthcare Professional
These are provider-administered medications. They are not dispensed to patients for self-injection, and patients do not pick them up at a pharmacy to administer themselves.
Both products are distributed under special federal requirements. The medication is supplied to an authorized healthcare setting or participating administration site rather than directly to the patient. A qualified healthcare professional gives the injection and monitors you afterward.
That is why the treatment model has two settings. A participating New York pharmacy, clinic or other authorized healthcare setting handles the physical administration. DevotedDOc maintains the clinical treatment relationship — your evaluation, treatment plan, medication decisions and ongoing follow-up care.
It also means you generally do not have to manage the medication-supply process yourself. Depending on the administration site and insurance pathway, the receiving location may coordinate benefits verification, prior authorization, medication acquisition and injection scheduling before your appointment.

Can I Switch From Suboxone® or Daily Buprenorphine to an Injection in New York?
Many patients already taking daily buprenorphine may be candidates for a long-acting injection. It is one of the most common reasons patients explore BRIXADI or SUBLOCADE treatment with DevotedDOc.
Talk With an Addiction ClinicianBRIXADI and SUBLOCADE have different initiation requirements, including considerations related to your current buprenorphine treatment and clinical history.
Whether and when you stop taking your films or tablets depends on which injection you and your clinician choose and your individualized treatment plan.
The transition depends on several clinical factors — including your current dose, treatment history, other medications and response to buprenorphine.
Your DevotedDOc clinician builds the transition plan with you. We do not provide individualized dosing instructions online, and you should not change or stop your medication without guidance from your treating clinician.

DevotedDOc also provides evaluation and ongoing treatment for alcohol use disorder, including extended-release naltrexone (Vivitrol®) when clinically appropriate.
Like long-acting buprenorphine, Vivitrol is administered by a healthcare professional at a local New York administration site, while DevotedDOc can provide the clinical evaluation, treatment planning and ongoing follow-up through telemedicine.
