How long does a Brixadi shot last?

3 min read
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) is highly effective, with some studies indicating it can cut the risk of death from all causes in half. Brixadi is a modern, long-acting buprenorphine injectable used as part of MAT, with dosing schedules that provide medication for either a week or a month. This provides a steady, consistent level of medication to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
