Continuity of care is critical for the treatment success of patients who are transitioning to a new healthcare setting. INSUPPORT can help patients who are transitioning to a new healthcare setting to receive treatment with SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine extended-release) injection, for subcutaneous use, CIII.
The first step in planning your patient's transition of care is identifying a provider or facility near your patient that can provide your patient treatment with SUBLOCADE. Available resources include, but are not limited to, the two provider locators listed below.
SAMHSA's Treatment Services Locator
To find a facility near your patient that can provide substance use treatment specific to your patient's individual criteria (such as the type of insurance or medication), you can visit the Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Find a SUBLOCADE treatment provider* near your patient
INSUPPORT can assist in locating a SUBLOCADE treatment provider near your patient or additional sites of care where the patient may receive administration of SUBLOCADE.
Additional Sites of Care
An Additional Sites of Care (ASOC) is a facility or healthcare provider (HCP), other than a prescribing physician's office, that may provide a flexible option for the administration of SUBLOCADE injections. You may prefer patients receive SUBLOCADE at a facility other than your practice, while you continue to manage their overall care.
Provider
A Provider is someone who works as a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, and has prescribed SUBLOCADE at least once in the previous two years, and has elected to be included in this tool.
*This free tool provides a list of physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who have the required legal permissions to treat opioid dependence with FDA-approved medications, have prescribed SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine extended-release) at least once in the previous two years, and have agreed to be included in the Indivior Find a SUBLOCADE Treatment Provider Tool. This tool may also be used to identify additional sites of care where patients who have been prescribed SUBLOCADE can go to receive treatment.
When selecting a new provider, it is important to identify one that can meet your patient's needs. Consider confirming these key pieces of information with the new site of care before referring the patient:
- The provider is willing to prescribe SUBLOCADE to an appropriate patient
- The provider is willing and able to administer a subcutaneous injection
- The provider accepts the patient's health insurance
- The provider is accepting new patients
- The provider is able to see the patient by the patient's next injection due date
For patients enrolled in Transition of Care Support, INSUPPORT can help confirm that the provider selected by you or your patient meets these important requirements.
Prior to your patient's departure from your care, ensure that the patient or caregiver is informed about next steps with the following resources.
This card can be given to the patient to provide important information such as:
- Contact information for the patient's new community provider
- The patient's first appointment date and time, if scheduled
- The patient's next injection due date for SUBLOCADE, in the event an appointment needs to be rescheduled
This brochure provides patients and caregivers with an overview of information and processes associated with Transition of Care Support for enrolled patients.
