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.

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.”
In Concord, North Carolina, opioid use and overdoses have become pressing public health concerns in recent years. The city, like many across the nation, has seen a rise in opioid prescriptions and misuse, leading to an increase in overdose incidents.
Factors contributing to this trend include the accessibility of prescription opioids, the proliferation of illicit substances like heroin and fentanyl, and socio-economic challenges.
Local health initiatives and law enforcement agencies are working to address the crisis through increased access to addiction treatment services, public education campaigns, and the distribution of naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication. Despite these efforts, the fight against opioid abuse remains an ongoing challenge for the community.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Concord:
- In 2020, Cabarrus County reported 76 opioid overdose deaths.
- From 2013-2017, the opioid overdose death rate was 16 per 100,000 residents, much higher than the state average.
- In 2018, the opioid prescribing rate was 69.4 per 100,000 residents, lower than the state average.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Concord
- In 2016, Cabarrus County EMS responded to 163 opioid overdoses.
- In 2017, this number skyrocketed to over 550 opioid overdose calls, representing a staggering 237% increase in opioid overdose responses within a single year.
- In 2017, heroin and fentanyl were responsible for nearly 70 overdose deaths in Cabarrus County.
- From 2017 to 2021, the rate of opioid overdose deaths in Cabarrus County was 26 per 100,000 residents, higher than the state average.
Demographic Data & Insights
The opioid crisis affects various demographic groups differently in Concord, North Carolina. Here are some insights:
- Young adults (ages 18-25) are at particularly high risk for opioid misuse and overdose.
- Men are generally more likely to use opioids and experience fatal overdoses.
- Women, however, are showing concerning trends in opioid use.
- Non-Hispanic white individuals have historically had the highest number of overdose deaths
- American Indian/Indigenous people show the highest rate and most significant increase in opioid-related deaths when measured as a portion of the population.
- Hispanic communities face unique challenges, including potentially longer hospital stays and higher charges for opioid use disorder treatment.
Socioeconomic Factors & Influences
- According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Concord has a median household income of about $73,000, but significant income disparity exists. Communities with lower incomes often have higher rates of opioid misuse. In areas with economic challenges, opioid use can be exacerbated by financial stress and limited access to resources.
- Cabarrus County has an unemployment rate of around 3.5%, which is relatively low compared to national averages. However, job insecurity or unemployment can still affect opioid misuse.
- In Cabarrus County, there are several healthcare facilities, but access to comprehensive addiction treatment can be limited. Data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services indicates that rural and low-income areas often have fewer treatment resources.
- Concord has a high school graduation rate of about 90%, but educational attainment varies. Lower educational attainment is associated with higher rates of substance misuse.
- Concord, as part of Cabarrus County, has both urban and rural areas. Rural areas often face more significant challenges related to healthcare access and substance abuse.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
Cabarrus County is set to receive approximately $21 million over an 18-year period from the national opioid settlement, as part of North Carolina’s $1.5 billion allocation. This significant funding presents a crucial opportunity to address the opioid crisis in the community through targeted programs and services.
The county has developed a strategic plan that prioritizes nine key focus areas for fund allocation:
- Collaborative strategic planning
- Evidence-based addiction treatment
- Recovery support services
- Early intervention
- Prevention of overdose deaths
- Addiction treatment for incarcerated individuals
- Reentry programs
- Connecting people to assistance
- Addressing the needs of pregnant women and their families
Concord has adopted a multi-faceted approach to address the opioid epidemic:
- Community-based coalitions: Working in conjunction with state-level efforts to change healthcare policies and prescriber behavior
- Naloxone distribution: Expanding access to this life-saving overdose reversal medication in non-traditional settings such as libraries and beaches
- Evidence-based interventions: Focusing on preventing substance use among teenagers and young adults

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.
