Sublocade (buprenorphine) is an opioid medication, sometimes called a narcotic.
Sublocade is used to treat opioid addiction. It is not for use as a pain medication.
Sublocade is given to people who have started addiction treatment with an oral form of buprenorphine placed under the tongue or inside the cheek (such as Suboxone or Subutex).
Sublocade is available only in a certified healthcare setting under a special program. You will not be able to give yourself this medicine.
