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 Seattle metropolitan area, particularly King County, faces a severe opioid crisis with unprecedented overdose rates. In 2022, King County recorded 1,017 total overdose deaths, a 43% increase from 709 deaths in 2021. This sharp rise underscores the urgency of addressing the epidemic.
The opioid crisis affects various demographics across King County, with certain areas showing higher concentrations of drug-related deaths. Central Seattle neighborhoods like SoDo, Rainier Valley, First Hill, Capitol Hill, and Belltown consistently demonstrate higher rates of major drug deaths compared to the county average.
Seattle is adopting a holistic and compassionate public health approach to address opioid addiction, moving away from purely punitive measures. The city’s response now requires a multifaceted approach, combining harm reduction strategies, increased access to treatment, and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges posed by fentanyl and changing patterns of drug use.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Seattle
- In 2023, over 1,067 people died from fentanyl poisonings and overdoses in King County.
- In King County, emergency medical services respond to hundreds of thousands of acute overdose events annually. This high volume of responses underscores the severity of the opioid epidemic in the region.
- In King County, the first four months of the most recent year saw nearly 2,500 opioid overdoses treated by emergency services.
- While opioids remain a primary concern, methamphetamine-involved deaths have risen dramatically. In 2015, meth was involved in over a quarter of drug-caused deaths, up from zero deaths in the late 1990s.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Seattle
- The Seattle Fire Department responds to an average of 15 drug overdose calls per day.
- Of overdose victims in King County, 70% were male, 81% were white, and 18% were experiencing homelessness.
- Of overdoses in King County, 67% happened at a place of residence.
- The prevalence of fake pills laced with fentanyl has created a dangerous landscape for drug users, many of whom may be unaware of the presence of fentanyl in their drugs.
- Recent data reveals that 77% of substance-related deaths in King County involved multiple substances.
- In 2018, 32% of alcohol and drug-related deaths involved both an opioid and a stimulant, up from 17% in 2009.
Demographic Data & Insights
- Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, multiracial, and Hispanic adults tend to die from opioid-related causes at younger ages (33 to 44 years) compared to white adults (45 years).
- About 71% of preventable opioid deaths occur among those aged 25 to 54.
- The 35 to 44 age group currently experiences the highest number of opioid overdose deaths (21,139), showing a 5% increase from 2021 and an 82% increase since 2019.
- A concerning trend of rapidly growing opioid-related deaths is emerging among individuals 55 and older.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- In the early 2010s, Seattle’s opioid crisis was largely fueled by the misuse of prescription opioids. Many individuals became addicted after receiving opioid prescriptions for routine surgeries or chronic pain management.
- As awareness of the addictive nature of these drugs grew and prescribing practices changed, some users transitioned to heroin. A survey of heroin users in King County found that 39% reported being “hooked on” prescription opioids before switching to heroin.
- Urban-rural differences in opioid prescribing metrics are most pronounced between large central metropolitan areas and all other categories.
- A recent overdose cluster in South Seattle involved crack cocaine potentially laced with fentanyl, highlighting the dangers of unknowingly consuming multiple substances.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
- Washington has implemented a statewide effort to address the opioid crisis, involving collaboration among government agencies, researchers, medical providers, and community stakeholders.
- The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has developed a “real-time” fatal overdose surveillance system to expedite death certification and information dissemination.
- EMS data is being used to monitor non-fatal opioid-involved overdose trends in near real-time, helping to guide tailored public health responses and prevention efforts.
- To improve naloxone accessibility, Washington State has implemented policies like 2SSB 5195, which helps increase access to this life-saving medication.

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.
