Addiction treatment via injection facilitated by a healthcare provider
One of some ways to treat addiction is by availing Sublocade, or narcotic, from a certified healthcare setting. Patients cannot get this medicine by themselves, rather, the licensed professionals of Healthy Option Clinic LLC will supervise and inject the medication. Recovery from addiction can be long and challenging, but we will help you face your struggles through our competent services.

FAQs About Sublocade Injection Therapy
What do I need to know before getting a Sublocade injection?
Sublocade is an extended-release injectable medication used to treat opioid use disorder. It must be administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. We ensure that patients are stabilized on a daily buprenorphine product before transitioning to Sublocade.
How does Sublocade work in treating opioid addiction?
Sublocade delivers a steady level of buprenorphine over 30 days, helping reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing a euphoric effect. We use this treatment as part of a broader medication-assisted recovery plan.
What happens during the injection process?
The injection is given subcutaneously in the abdominal area by a licensed clinician. We follow all safety protocols to minimize discomfort, and the entire process usually takes only a few minutes.
Are there risks or side effects I should consider?
As with any medication, there can be side effects. The most common include injection-site reactions, constipation, or fatigue. We carefully review all risks with each patient before beginning treatment and monitor for any concerns throughout the course of care.
How is Sublocade different from other treatment options like Suboxone?
Unlike Suboxone, which is taken daily, Sublocade is administered once a month. We often recommend it for individuals seeking a more consistent and convenient option without the responsibility of daily dosing.
Will I still need counseling if I’m on Sublocade?
Yes. Medication alone is not a complete treatment for opioid use disorder. We encourage patients to combine Sublocade with counseling or behavioral therapy as part of a comprehensive recovery strategy.
How do I know if Sublocade is the right option for me?
The decision to use Sublocade depends on individual medical history, current treatment stage, and personal recovery goals. We conduct a thorough evaluation to help determine whether this treatment aligns with those needs.
