Recently three novel long-acting buprenorphine depot or implant formulations have been studieD and in part approved for treatment of opioid use disorders: for subcutaneous weekly and monthly application the depot formulations CAM 2038 [Buvidal®], the monthly depot formulation RBP-6000 [Sublocade™] and the six-month buprenorphine implant [Probuphine™]. The pharmacology and efficacy of these novel medications will be reviewed and discussed
