Long-acting injectable buprenorphine (Sublocade or Brixadi) is a highly effective and smooth method for tapering off Suboxone (sublingual buprenorphine).
Approach to Tapering:
Assess the Current Buprenorphine Dose:
≤ 4 mg/day:
Give 100 mg Sublocade once a month for 2 months → then stop.
Most patients experience no withdrawal or cravings.
5–12 mg/day:
Start with 300 mg once or twice, then 100 mg once or twice, then stop.
16–24 mg/day:
Use 300 mg for 2–3 months, then taper to 100 mg for 1–2 months, then stop.
Duration of Use:
Most patients need 2–4 shots total, depending on dose and response.
Some may need up to 5, especially if psychological dependence is strong.
Why It Works:
The medication builds up in the system, offering a smooth taper with fewer cravings and withdrawals.
It eliminates the daily ritual of taking a pill, helping patients break the mental habit of needing a substance to feel normal.
Patients transition to a mindset of "I'm okay without taking anything".
About the Injections:
Sublocade: Long-standing option with a longer half-life.
Brixadi: Newer, with a shorter half-life but less painful, smaller volume, multiple injection sites, and no refrigeration required.
Both are highly effective; Brixadi is increasingly favored for its convenience.
Final Thoughts:
These extended-release formulations have revolutionized how patients taper off Suboxone.
In clinical experience, over 100 patients have successfully come off buprenorphine using this approach.
Even for patients who initially struggle, restarting at a lower dose later often leads to success.
