Your Recovery Deserves a Stable Foundation
At Recovery Unlimited, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for opioid use disorder, including treatment with Sublocade. This once-monthly injectable form of buprenorphine helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while giving patients a more consistent treatment option without the need for daily dosing. With medical guidance, counseling, and ongoing support, Sublocade can help create structure, stability, and momentum in recovery.
What Is Sublocade Treatment?
Sublocade is a once-monthly injection used in the treatment of opioid use disorder. It contains buprenorphine, a medication that helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms by partially activating opioid receptors in a controlled way.
Unlike a daily medication, Sublocade is administered by a medical provider once per month, which can help support consistency, reduce day-to-day medication management, and provide a more stable treatment experience.
Sublocade is often a strong option for individuals who are looking for a longer-acting medication approach as part of a structured recovery plan. At Recovery Unlimited, treatment is paired with compassionate care, regular follow-up, and support tailored to the individual.
Why Choose Sublocade?
Sublocade offers a different approach to medication-assisted treatment by providing steady, monthly support without the need for daily dosing.
Consistent Monthly Support
Because Sublocade is given once per month by a provider, it can help create more consistency in treatment and reduce the burden of remembering a daily medication routine.
Reduced Cravings and Withdrawal Symptoms
The medication is designed to help people feel more physically stable, making it easier to focus on recovery, counseling, responsibilities, and daily life.
Built for Structure and Simplicity
For many patients, a monthly injection provides a more manageable path forward by simplifying treatment and reinforcing accountability through regular provider visits.
What to Expect During Sublocade Treatment
Starting Sublocade treatment is a structured process. Our team works closely with each patient to make sure the treatment plan is safe, appropriate, and supportive from the beginning.

Different medications support recovery in different ways. The right option depends on your history, your goals, and your clinical needs.

Suboxone
Suboxone is a daily medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone. It is commonly used in outpatient treatment and can be a flexible option for many people beginning recovery.
