Study links 12-month SUBLOCADE adherence to 42% lower annual non-MOUD medical costs in opioid use disorder

Indivior reported results from a real-world, retrospective observational study published in Frontiers in Public Health that assessed healthcare utilization and costs among commercially insured patients with opioid use disorder by medication adherence. Patients adherent to the monthly injectable buprenorphine SUBLOCADE for 12 months had USD 35,761 in adjusted annual non-MOUD medical costs, which was 42% lower than patients adherent to other forms of MOUD (USD 50,778). The analysis also found that SUBLOCADE-adherent patients had the lowest inpatient admissions and emergency department visits across the treatment groups. The study is titled Association between extended-release buprenorphine adherence and reduced healthcare costs among insured patients with opioid use disorder.
