Our providers work with you to choose the right option for your needs, including sublingual buprenorphine and long-acting injectable medications such as Brixadi® and Sublocade®.

Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
At House of Grace Treatment Center, we provide evidence-based treatment for opioid addiction using buprenorphine, a medication proven to reduce withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and overdose risk. Treatment is delivered by a licensed medical team that works closely with you at every stage of care.
1. Induction Phase
Your treatment begins with a careful buprenorphine induction, which starts once you are experiencing mild to moderate opioid withdrawal. This timing is important to ensure the medication works safely and effectively.
During induction, your provider will start you on an initial dose of buprenorphine and monitor your response. Dosing decisions are made collaboratively, with adjustments based on your symptoms, history, and comfort.
2. Stabilization Phase
As treatment continues, your buprenorphine dose is adjusted to help control cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Many patients notice improved physical comfort and mental clarity during this phase.
Stabilization allows you to focus on counseling, recovery supports, and rebuilding daily routines while your medication provides a steady foundation for recovery.
3. Maintenance Phase
Once a stable and effective dose is reached, treatment enters the maintenance phase. During this time, buprenorphine helps support long-term recovery by reducing the risk of relapse and supporting ongoing stability.
Your care team continues to monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and support your recovery goals over time. The length of maintenance treatment is individualized and based on what best supports your health and well-being.

Advantages of Sublingual Buprenorphine (Such as Suboxone®) for Opioid Addiction
Sublingual buprenorphine has been used for decades as an effective treatment for opioid use disorder. When combined with counseling and supportive care, buprenorphine helps many people reduce opioid use, stabilize their lives, and lower the risk of overdose. Treatment with sublingual buprenorphine offers several important benefits:
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which means it helps relieve withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same euphoric effects as full opioids
Reduces cravings and withdrawal, making it easier to focus on recovery, daily responsibilities, and overall well-being
Lower risk of misuse and overdose compared to full opioid agonists, especially when taken as prescribed
Once-daily dosing for many patients, providing steady symptom relief and supporting consistency in treatment
Effective for a wide range of opioid use, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids
Can be safely used during pregnancy under medical supervision, with strong evidence supporting improved outcomes for both parent and baby
At House of Grace Treatment Center, we offer sublingual buprenorphine and work closely with each patient to determine whether it is the right option for their recovery goals.
Possible Side Effects of Sublingual Buprenorphine Treatment
Most patients tolerate sublingual buprenorphine well, but like all medications, side effects can occur — specially early in treatment or while finding the right dose. It’s important to talk with your provider about any symptoms you experience. Possible side effects may include: Headaches, Nausea or upset stomach, Constipation, Sweating, Sleep changes, Mild dizziness or fatigue, and Mood changes.
As treatment continues, many side effects lessen or resolve as the body adjusts. Your provider will monitor your response, review potential medication interactions, and make adjustments as needed to ensure treatment remains safe and effective.

About Subcutaneous Buprenorphine (Injectible)
Advantages of Subcutaneous Buprenorphine (Such as Sublocade® and Brixadi®) for Opioid Addiction
Subcutaneous buprenorphine is a long-acting, injectable form of medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. It is designed for individuals who are already stabilized on buprenorphine and want a consistent, low-maintenance treatment option. When combined with counseling and support, injectable buprenorphine can help many people sustain long-term recovery.
Key advantages include:
Long-acting, steady medication delivery: Injectable buprenorphine is given once monthly, providing consistent medication levels without daily dosing.
Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms: The medication continuously activates opioid receptors at a controlled level, helping prevent cravings and withdrawal.
Lower risk of misuse or diversion: Because the medication is administered by a medical provider and cannot be taken home, there is no risk of missed doses, misuse, or accidental ingestion by others.
Supports treatment adherence: Monthly injections help eliminate the need to remember daily medication, which can be especially helpful for individuals with busy schedules or difficulty maintaining routines.
Effective for a range of opioid use disorders
Injectable buprenorphine is effective for individuals recovering from fentanyl, heroin, and prescription opioid use.
Allows greater focus on recovery and daily life
With medication stability in place, patients can focus on counseling, work, family, and long-term goals without daily medication management.
At House of Grace Treatment Center, subcutaneous buprenorphine may be offered after stabilization on buprenorphine and is discussed collaboratively during treatment planning.
Possible Side Effects of Subcutaneous Buprenorphine Treatment
Most patients tolerate injectable buprenorphine well. Side effects are generally mild and often improve over time. Your medical provider will review your history, monitor your response, and address any concerns throughout treatment.
Possible side effects may include: Headache, Fatigue, Nausea, Constipation, Sleep changes, Mood changes, Sweating and Injection-site reactions such as soreness, redness, or swelling.
Before starting treatment, your provider will review possible medication interactions, precautions, and what to expect after injection to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.
Additional Treatment Options for Co-Occurring Substance Use Disorders
At House of Grace Treatment Center, we recognize that opioid use disorder often occurs alongside other substance use challenges. In addition to buprenorphine treatment for opioid addiction, we provide medical and behavioral support for individuals struggling with alcohol, stimulant, tobacco, and other substance use disorders.

When appropriate, we may use medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, alongside counseling and supportive services. Each treatment plan is carefully developed and monitored by medical professionals to ensure it aligns with your needs, goals, and stage of recovery.
