Virtual opioid use disorder provider Bicycle Health has inked a deal with retail giant Albertsons to make buprenorphine extended-release injections, a type of medication-assisted treatment, available in 17 states.
The partnership enables Bicycle Health’s doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe the injectable, called Sublocade, and have that prescription filled at Albertsons Companies pharmacies. The extended release injection will be available at 700 Albertsons Companies pharmacy locations, including Safeway and Acme pharmacies.
