SUBOXONE is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults. SUBOXONE should not be taken by individuals who have been shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious adverse reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported. Taking SUBOXONE with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants can cause breathing problems that can lead to coma and death. Other side-effects may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, constipation, insomnia, pain, increased sweating, sleepiness, dizziness, coordination problems, physical dependence or abuse, and liver problems. For more information about SUBOXONE, see Suboxone.com, the full Prescribing Information, and Medication Guide or talk to your healthcare provider. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

[What I like most about Bicycle Health so far is them] creating a space and program for the patient to be honest, open, and transparent about substance usage without facing "punishment", "judgment", and being able to develop goals with the patient's provider that fits even the most complex needs of the patient.

DR. JEN SMITH ON WORKING AT BICYCLE HEALTH
“I don't have to wake up every morning, drive to a clinic, wait in line or worry about missing work for appointments.”
The Colorado Springs Metropolitan Statistical Area, home to approximately 12% of Colorado’s population, faces significant challenges related to opioid use and overdose deaths.
The Colorado Springs metro area continues to grapple with the opioid crisis, reflecting broader state and national trends. While recent data shows some promising signs of decline in overdose deaths, the widespread nature of opioid use across the region underscores the need for continued vigilance and comprehensive intervention strategies.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Colorado Springs
- The Colorado Springs Metro Area accounts for nearly 15% of the state’s fatal heroin overdoses, despite having only 12% of the population.
- Data from 2016 and 2017 reveals that opioid overdoses were recorded in nearly every part of the city, indicating that opioid use is not confined to any particular demographic or economic group.
- In Colorado, approximately 1 in 10 residents live in areas with no access to opioid treatment, and many in remote rural areas must travel over 30 miles to seek help.
- In 2019, approximately 95,000 Coloradans reported not accessing needed treatment for opioid use disorders.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Colorado Springs
- In 2018, there were 72 opioid-related deaths in El Paso County, a decrease from 92 in 2017.
- Colorado’s death rate from prescription painkillers has quadrupled, while heroin deaths have tripled in recent years.
- In 2022, fentanyl was responsible for approximately half of all drug-related deaths in El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs.
- Fentanyl-related deaths increased by 6% from 2022 to 2023. Between 2019 and 2020, the death rate from fentanyl rose 123%.
Demographic Data & Insights
- Young adults from wealthier families show higher rates of alcohol and marijuana use, suggesting that substance use patterns can vary across the socioeconomic spectrum.
- Men are slightly more affected by opioid-related issues overall. However, among those receiving chronic opioid therapy, young and middle-aged women are at the highest risk of experiencing pain.
- Colorado data shows higher opioid overdose mortality rates among white, American Indian, and Alaskan Native individuals.
- Colorado data also shows lower mortality rates involving opioid overdose among non-Hispanic Black people and Hispanics in the past two decades.
- The largest percentage of heroin users admitted to treatment facilities in Colorado are ages 25 to 34 (49.2%), followed by those ages 18 to 24 (25.6%).
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- Prescription opioid deaths have shown a slight decline, with 300 deaths in 2016, down from a peak of 338 in 2014.
- Fentanyl has emerged as a primary driver of opioid-related deaths in El Paso County. 2022 saw a record high of approximately 115 fentanyl deaths in the county.
- Among heroin users in Colorado, 70% report starting their drug use with prescription medications.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
- Colorado lawmakers have developed bills focusing on requiring Medicaid coverage for residential substance use treatment and allowing school-based health centers to apply for funds to address substance use.
- Grant programs aim to expand treatment capacity in rural and frontier areas of Colorado.
- The Behavioral Health Administration uses State Opioid Response (SOR) funding to support families affected by substance use disorders through community reinforcement and family training, along with the Incredible Years program.
- Colorado’s “Building Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Underserved Communities” grant program prioritizes rural and frontier communities and areas of the state that are unserved or underserved.

Yes, because of COVID-19, our addiction medicine doctors can write Suboxone prescriptions online. Before COVID-19, doctors who prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) were required to see each patient in person before writing that patient’s first Suboxone prescription. The in-person requirements were mandated by a law called the “Ryan Haight Act” which was passed by Congress in 2008. But because of the COVID-19 emergency, providers like the ones at Bicycle Health can write Suboxone prescriptions based on telehealth visits only. This eliminates the need for in-person visits for people who want to start treatment online with buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone). The ability for addiction medicine doctors to prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) to patients who start treatment after the COVID-19 emergency eventually ends is still up in the air. We are currently waiting for guidance from the federal government about whether addiction medicine doctors will continue to be able to write Suboxone prescriptions to new patients without an in-person visit once the COVID-19 emergency ends.
Yes! As long as you are getting buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) from a physician or physician assistant with a license to prescribe Suboxone, it is perfectly legal to get Suboxone prescription online. Providers who can prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) have received extra training and obtained a waiver (known as an “x” license) from the DEA.
Before you are prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), you will need to undergo an initial medical evaluation so that the doctor can ensure that it is an appropriate medication for you, though this does not require an in-person visit and can be done via telehealth (with video or telephone).
Once you have completed this assessment, the doctor will send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy. So, yes! You can find a licensed buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) provider online and they can get you started on it via telehealth services without any in-person appointments.

The short answer is, “yes, online addiction medicine doctors are legitimate.” The longer answer is that the online addiction medicine providers at Bicycle Health have at least as much training and experience as in-person addiction medicine doctors. And because Bicycle Health treats patients across the country, our online doctors meet the highest national standards. Our doctors have trained at some of the best medical residency programs and medical schools in the country including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, University of Arizona, University of Kentucky, and many others. Numerous studies have shown that online addiction medicine is at least as good as in-person clinics, and has even better results than in-person clinics for many patients.
