The Drug Treatment Act of 2000 permitted doctors who meet certain training qualifications to prescribe buprenorphine in the treatment of heroin addiction and other opioid addictions. Buprenorphine physicians became able to assist opioid addicted patients in an office setting bypassing the restrictions that typically apply to patients receiving methadone. This treatment method maximized patient convenience and accessibility thus increasing the number of people who could access medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction.

Buprenorphine is the medication ingredient in Suboxone, Subutex, Zubsolv, Bunavail, and Probuphine that specifically targets opioid withdrawal. Buprenorphine, or "Bup", is the leading pharmaceutical treatment (alongside methadone) for addressing opioid addiction. Both medications are in widescale use throughout the world due to their efficacy in removing the persistent discomfort associated with withdrawal from opiates (ex. runny nose, body ache, anxiety, nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms).

Buprenorphine.US is an information resource for people in search of doctors who specialize in treating opioid addiction with buprenorphine. In recent years, individuals from all age groups and backgrounds have suffered with an unexpected opioid dependency that negatively affected their family relationships, job, finances, and self-esteem. Addiction is a relentless illness, and persistent opiate withdrawal is a particularly difficult medical dilemma. There are presently thousands of U.S. physicians seeking to assist patients ready to address their opioid addiction. Buprenorphine.US is a tool for connecting buprenorphine doctors with new prospective patients wanting specialized primary care for their addictive disorder.

Sublocade Now Available

Sublocade is a newly released medication alternative for treating opioid addiction. It is a product of Indivior, the pharmaceutical company responsible for Suboxone. Sublocade is a once monthly injection of time-released buprenorphine typically provided to patients who have been receiving buprenorphine for at least (7) days and who are stable on their medication.

The injection is subcutaneous (under the skin). The medication gradually breaks down (biodegrades) and releases buprenorphine for 30 days so that opioid withdrawal symptoms are effectively managed.

Sublocade was FDA-approved in the United States in late November 2017 and is presently available. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is making a concerted effort to address the ongoing opioid epidemic by making medication-assisted therapies available across the country. More information about Sublocade can be found on the Indivior website.
