About Brixadi Treatment

What Is Brixadi?

Brixadi is an FDA-approved, extended-release buprenorphine injection for opioid use disorder, given weekly or monthly by a healthcare provider. It releases steadily, so cravings and withdrawal stay controlled between visits.

The weekly option and multiple dose strengths make Brixadi especially flexible early in treatment, when doses may still need adjusting. Many patients can also begin Brixadi sooner than other injectables, and your physician will map the safest path for you.

  • Two schedules, one medication: Weekly injections while your dose settles, monthly once you are stable.
  • Steady coverage: No daily peaks and dips, and no daily decisions.
  • Nothing to manage at home: Your dose happens at your visit, with nothing to store or carry.
  • Counseling and psychiatry included: The same integrated team supports your whole recovery.

Who We Help

Who Brixadi Helps

Brixadi fits many situations, from the first week of recovery to long-term maintenance. Your physician will help you decide whether it is the right tool.

Starting Treatment Now

For many new patients, weekly Brixadi can begin shortly after a first oral buprenorphine dose is tolerated, one of the fastest routes to injectable coverage.

Doses Still Being Tuned

The weekly schedule and multiple strengths let your physician fine-tune quickly, without waiting a month between adjustments.

Busy Work and Family Lives

Travel, long shifts, and full schedules make daily medication easy to miss. Injectable coverage removes that failure point.

Privacy Concerns

No medication at home means nothing to explain to family, roommates, or anyone else. Treatment stays between you and your care team.

Leaving Residential Treatment

Brixadi provides dependable protection during the vulnerable transition home from inpatient or residential care.

Co-occurring Mental Health

Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD are treated alongside your recovery by our psychiatric team, all in one place.

Your Options

Your Medication Options at InSight

Brixadi is one of several paths. If a different medication fits your life better, we offer the full range, and switching between options is something we manage all the time.

Suboxone Film and Tablets

Buprenorphine / Naloxone · Daily

The most widely used MAT medication. Dissolves under the tongue once daily at home. Flexible dosing makes it the usual starting point, and the naloxone component deters misuse.

Daily · At Home · Most Common

Subutex

Buprenorphine · Daily

Buprenorphine without naloxone, used when the combination product is not appropriate for a patient’s specific situation. Your physician will determine whether it fits your care plan.

Daily · Specific Situations

Our MAT Program

Medication + Counseling

Every medication we prescribe is part of a complete program: medical care, counseling, and psychiatric support working together toward your recovery.

Whole-Person · Physician-Led

Sublocade

Extended-Release Buprenorphine · Monthly Injection

One injection a month with steady levels throughout. A strong option once you are stabilized on buprenorphine.

Monthly · No Daily Dosing

Vivitrol

Naltrexone · Monthly Injection

Different mechanism entirely: Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors rather than activating them, and also reduces alcohol cravings. It requires completing full detox before starting, and our team will help you plan that safely.

Monthly · Opioids and Alcohol

Our Care Process

Starting Brixadi, Step by Step

Brixadi can move quickly: for many patients, injectable coverage begins within days of starting treatment. Here is how it works.

1. Evaluation

Your physician reviews your history and goals and confirms Brixadi is a fit. If you are new to treatment, oral buprenorphine can often begin the same day.

2. Rapid Transition

For patients new to buprenorphine, weekly Brixadi can often start shortly after your first oral dose is tolerated. Already stable on buprenorphine? You can typically switch directly.

3. Weekly Injections

Small injections under the skin while your physician fine-tunes your dose week by week. A brief visit, then back to your life.

4. Monthly Maintenance

Once stable, most patients move to the monthly dose: one visit a month, with counseling and telehealth in between.

Setting the Record Straight

Common Misconceptions About Brixadi

Brixadi is newer than other options, so questions are natural. Here is what patients most often get wrong.

common myth

“A weekly shot means weekly suffering.”

The injection is small, under the skin, and takes seconds. Most patients describe brief stinging. Weekly visits are short, and they end once you transition to monthly dosing.

common myth

“Newer must mean less proven.”

Brixadi is FDA approved and delivers buprenorphine, the most studied medication in opioid addiction care. The delivery system is newer; the medicine and its evidence base are not.

common myth

“I will be locked into injections.”

Switching between Brixadi, monthly Sublocade, and daily medication is routine. Your plan adjusts as your life does, decided together with your physician.

Often much sooner than other injectables. For patients new to buprenorphine, weekly Brixadi can typically begin shortly after a first oral dose is tolerated. Your physician will confirm the safest sequence for you.

They are fairly equivalent medications, and that is the main message. Both deliver steady buprenorphine without daily dosing. Brixadi offers more variability in dosing, with weekly and monthly options at several strengths, while Sublocade’s strength is long-term stability of coverage. A stable period on oral buprenorphine first is recommended for Sublocade rather than required. Your physician will help you match the option to your situation.

It is a quick injection under the skin, over in seconds. Mild stinging and a small temporary bump at the site are normal.

Most major plans and TennCare cover Brixadi, often with prior authorization. We handle the paperwork and verify your coverage before your first injection.

There is flexibility in the dosing windows for both weekly and monthly schedules. Call us and we will get you rescheduled quickly.

Treatment length is individual, and research supports longer-term treatment as safe and effective. You and your physician decide together based on your progress, never an arbitrary timeline.

Yes. Once stabilized, buprenorphine does not impair you. Most of our patients work full-time throughout treatment.

Yes, in either direction. Switching between buprenorphine products is something we manage routinely, and your coverage continues without a gap.
