Medications for Opioid Use Disorder
Buprenorphine/Naloxone (Suboxone®, Zubsolv®) These sublingual medications combine buprenorphine and naloxone to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms related to opioid use. They are commonly used for individuals recovering from prescription pain medications, heroin, or other opioids. Dosing is individualized, and clients work closely with their provider to develop a treatment plan that fits their needs.
Sublocade® (Buprenorphine Extended‑Release Injection) Sublocade is a once‑monthly injection that delivers a steady dose of buprenorphine. It can be a helpful option for clients who prefer not to take daily medication or who benefit from consistent, long‑acting support. Providers will complete an assessment to determine if Sublocade is an appropriate fit.
Brixadi® (Buprenorphine Extended‑Release Injection) Brixadi is another long‑acting buprenorphine option, available in weekly or monthly injections. It offers flexibility for clients who may need more frequent dosing adjustments early in treatment or who prefer a structured injectable regimen.
Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder and Opioid Use Disorder
Vivitrol® (Naltrexone Extended‑Release Injection) Vivitrol is a monthly injection used to reduce cravings for both alcohol and opioids. It is non‑addictive and can be a strong option for clients seeking medication support without daily dosing.
Oral Naltrexone Naltrexone is also available in a daily oral form and may be used for alcohol use disorder or opioid use disorder, depending on the client’s needs and treatment goals.
Choosing the Right MAT Path
Every client’s recovery journey is unique. Our expert care providers work collaboratively with patients to determine which medication option best aligns with their goals, lifestyle, and overall treatment plan. MAT is most effective when paired with supportive services like individual and/ or group therapy. A fully comprehensive program of care is frequently recommended by the providers at West Grove Clinic.
Comprehensive Support Services
All clients participating in MAT are encouraged to engage in additional therapeutic supports such as:
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Individual counseling
Aftercare groups
Holistic and wellness‑based services
This integrated approach helps strengthen long‑term recovery, build coping skills, and support overall well‑being.
“When medication management along with therapy are combined, we see the greatest healing results in our patients.”
