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 epidemic in Phoenix and Maricopa County has escalated dramatically in recent years, with fentanyl contributing significantly to the crisis. The region has seen a sharp increase in opioid-related overdoses and fatalities, straining local healthcare and emergency services.
Maricopa County’s extensive urban and rural areas face diverse challenges, from high overdose rates in Phoenix to limited access to treatment in more remote communities.
Efforts to combat the crisis include expanded access to naloxone, increased availability of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and enhanced public health initiatives aimed at prevention and recovery. Despite these efforts, the epidemic continues to impact countless lives, highlighting the need for ongoing, comprehensive strategies to address this pervasive issue.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Phoenix
- More than 3 Maricopa County residents die each day due to fentanyl.
- Fentanyl fatalities in Maricopa County have increased by nearly 5,000% since 2015.
- 75% of all opioid overdose deaths involved opioid painkillers from 2018 to 2019.
- In 2019, about two-thirds of overdose deaths involved at least one opioid.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Phoenix
- Opioid overdose deaths per 100,000 people in Maricopa County increased from 5.2 in 2012 to 28.8 in 2021.
- The drug overdose rate for synthetic opioids like fentanyl increased by 4,000% from 2013 to 2022.
- In 2020 and 2021, approximately 91% of drug overdose deaths among those aged 15-24 involved synthetic opioids.
- In 2022, the rate of non-fatal opioid overdose was 46.7 per 100,000 county residents.
- Over 80% of overdose deaths in the county in 2022 involved more than one drug.
Demographic Data & Insights

- The overdose death rate is for men is over 2.5 times that for women.
- Young people aged 15-24 have seen the greatest percentage increase in overdose deaths.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
While illicit opioids are a major concern, prescription opioid use remains problematic:
- In 2017, 59.2 out of every 100 people in Maricopa County were prescribed opioids.
The opioid landscape in Maricopa County is evolving, presenting new challenges:
- Counterfeit pills: Young people are increasingly at risk of overdosing on counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl, often purchased through social media.
- Polysubstance use: Fentanyl is being mixed with other drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, expanding the at-risk population.
- Adolescent vulnerability: Even occasional nonmedical use of prescription opioids by adolescents significantly increases the risk of developing a substance use disorder by age 35.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
Maricopa County has allocated $2.5 million per fiscal year from opioid settlement funds to expand medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs in county jails. This program allows inmates to begin opioid treatment regimens that can be continued upon release, including:
- Substance use treatment
- Medication administration
- Withdrawal monitoring
- Patient observation
- Appointment scheduling
- Linking individuals to outside providers and counseling services
Moreover, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) is taking a data-driven approach to combat the opioid crisis:
- Allocated $170,000 in FY 2024 to expand staff capacity for measuring the impact of Opioid Settlement dollars and program implementation
- Collaborating with state and local governments to maximize coordination of opioid settlement spending
- Conducted regional meetings to share findings from substance use provider needs assessments and exchange updates on settlement spending plans

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.
