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.”
The opioid crisis continues to impact Los Angeles, with use rates exceeding national averages. As of the most recent data, the prevalence of opioid use in Los Angeles stands at 4.7%, surpassing the national rate of 4.3%.
Access to treatment remains a challenge. Only 36% of individuals with opioid use disorder received any form of substance use treatment in 2021, and only 22% received medications specifically for opioid use disorder.
Policymakers, healthcare providers, and community organizations must work collaboratively to address this complex issue and improve outcomes for those affected by opioid use disorder.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Los Angeles
- Fentanyl-linked deaths increased from 109 in 2016 to 1,504 in 2021 (a 1,280% rise). In 2022, fentanyl-related deaths further increased to 1,910.
- Death rates from fentanyl have decreased among young adults (18-25) for two consecutive years.
- In 2023 alone, 728 homeless individuals died from fentanyl overdoses—a record high.
- Between 2006 and 2017, Los Angeles has experienced a substantial increase in opioid-related healthcare visits. Emergency room visits associated with opioids increased by 51%, while hospitalizations increased by 31%.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Los Angeles
- Key areas within Los Angeles County have high opioid abuse and overdose rates. They include Antelope Valley (6.4 deaths per 100,000 residents), the Metro region (6 deaths per 100,000 residents), and West Los Angeles (5.7 deaths per 100,000 residents).
- Fentanyl is responsible for a significant increase in L.A. County opioid deaths in 2020.
- In Los Angeles’ District 1, the majority of homeless deaths in the previous year were attributed to opioids.
Demographic Data & Insights
- In 2019, Latinos in Los Angeles County had an age-adjusted opioid-related emergency department visit rate of 11.2 per 100,000, lower than the state average of 18.9.
- Of those receiving medications for opioid use disorder, 62% were 35 or older.
- Men accounted for 59% of individuals receiving medications for opioid use disorder.
- Adults aged 26-64 represent the highest number of overdose deaths.
- Between 2014 and 2023, over 2,100 unhoused individuals died from fentanyl-related causes.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- Fentanyl was involved in nearly 80% of all opioid overdose deaths in 2022.
- Prescription opioid use in Los Angeles and across the United States has changed significantly in recent years. While opioid prescribing has declined since 2010, the amount prescribed in 2015 remained three times higher than in 1999.
- High-volume prescribers wrote more prescriptions per patient (mean 6.7) compared to medium-volume (4.2) and low-volume (1.3) prescribers.
- Prescriptions from high-volume prescribers were for larger quantities of opioids (median 311 MME/prescription) compared to medium-volume (300 MME) and low-volume (189 MME) prescribers.
- Patients in the most rural counties (noncore) had an 87% higher chance of receiving an opioid prescription compared to those in large central metropolitan counties.
- Heroin continues to be the most commonly used illicit opioid. Synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl, are increasingly prevalent
State Funds & Resource Allocation
- Los Angeles County has implemented various interventions and treatment programs to address the opioid crisis, aiming to prevent misuse, provide effective treatment, and reduce overdose deaths.
- The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC-DHS) has focused on reducing the number of opioid pills prescribed post-surgery.
- Officials are focused on culturally appropriate interventions, particularly for Latino communities. These targeted approaches aim to bridge the gap in care for vulnerable populations and communities most affected by the opioid crisis in Los Angeles.
- California has led the largest expansion of emergency department medication-assisted treatment programs in the country, significantly improving access to treatment for those with opioid use disorder.

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.
