Medications for OUD (MOUD)

We use FDA-approved medications together with counseling, peer support, and care management. Your provider will help you choose the option that fits your goals, health history, and schedule.

Methadone (daily, with take-home options as you stabilize)

Eases withdrawal and cravings so you can feel well and focus on recovery.

Daily supervised dosing at our OTP, with take-home doses available as you meet safety and stability criteria.

People who do well with a structured routine or have not felt stable on other medications.

Buprenorphine (sublingual tablets/films)

Reduces withdrawal and cravings with a ceiling effect that lowers overdose risk compared with full agonists.

Dissolves under the tongue/inside the cheek; dosing plan individualized.

People who prefer a home medication option with regular clinic follow-up.

Long-Acting Buprenorphine Injections (no daily pills)

BRIXADI® (buprenorphine) — weekly or monthly

Provides a steady level of buprenorphine without daily dosing.

A weekly or monthly under-the-skin injection by our clinical team. Weekly is commonly used early on; monthly is typically for people already stable on buprenorphine.

Available only through the BRIXADI REMS safety program and administered in-clinic (not dispensed to patients).

SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine) — monthly

One injection each month to control cravings and withdrawal.

In-clinic, monthly subcutaneous injection. If you’re new to buprenorphine, we can give a small test dose first to confirm you tolerate it, then start SUBLOCADE in the clinic with observation.

Provided under the SUBLOCADE REMS and administered in-clinic.

Naltrexone / Vivitrol® (monthly)

Blocks opioid effects and helps prevent relapse; also approved for alcohol use disorder.

Monthly injection after you’ve been opioid-free for a period to avoid precipitated withdrawal.

People who prefer a non-opioid medication or can complete detox first.

We’ll talk through daily vs. weekly/monthly options, travel and work schedules, past treatment experiences, other health conditions, and your goals—then decide together. All medications are paired with therapy, peer support, and care management so you’re supported on every side.
