WHAT IS OAT

Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) uses safe, slow-acting medications under medical supervision to suppress withdrawal and reduce cravings for people with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Sublocade is a once-monthly extended-release buprenorphine injection that forms a subcutaneous depot, offering unique benefits over daily oral medications. It provides steady, continuous medication delivery that avoids the daily peaks and valleys of pills, eliminates the burden of daily dosing or pharmacy visits, and supports long-term recovery stability.
