The goal you be striving for is to implement both medications. Suboxone (as injection=Sublocade) and Methadone. It might be more difficult to offer both, but your patients should have a choice. Many patients will have to wait till in withdrawal and the opioids/opiates leave their body before using sublocade, a partial agoinst or the sublocade would cause severe withdrawal. Sorry if this seems negative, but methadone is the gold standard and jails need to figure out how to administer it like at an OTP clinic and not fear diversion. Great start!!
