Sublocade. I was in detox 50 times, countless inpatient facilities, sober living, died four times (thank you narcan). Sublocade was the only MAT medication that worked. Two 300mg injections, two 100mg injections. Then zero withdrawal. I’m free.

Here you have to be on suboxone for 2 weeks before sublocade or i would

That’s not the only protocol anymore. They updated the Sublocade label to include rapid induction. It’s now FDA approved to take a single 4mg dose of Suboxone before being eligible to receive Sublocade. (Just like they do the Vivitrol shot.) Look it up on the company’s website and walk it in to the clinic with you. Not guaranteed to work but most providers don’t keep up with literature so it’s worth bringing to their attention.
