We are proud to share an important step forward in expanding access to addiction treatment in our community.
Gifford is now making Sublocade®, a long-acting injectable medication for opioid use disorder, available 24/7 through both our Emergency Department and inpatient unit. We are currently the only hospital in Vermont offering Sublocade initiation in our Emergency Department.
Certified Addiction Nurse Practitioner Roz Vara-Good shares, “By offering Sublocade in the emergency department, we can provide life-saving care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
This expansion helps ensure that eligible patients can access evidence-based treatment when they are ready, with follow-up care coordinated through Gifford’s Addiction Medicine program or another provider of their choice.
