Oregon's opioid crisis has significant impacts on individuals, families, and communities across the state.

Key Statistics On Opioid Use in Oregon:

• Deaths from drug overdoses in Oregon rose 33.6% to 1,069 in 2021, which was the fifth-largest jump in deaths in the nation and greater than the 31% rise seen in 2020. The increase in Oregon's numbers was primarily due to an influx of fentanyl.
• Fentanyl-related overdose deaths in Oregon rose from 226 reports in 2020 to 508 reports in 2021, an increase of roughly 125%.
• Oregon reported a total of 955 unintentional opioid overdose deaths in 2022.

In Oregon, the availability of buprenorphine may mirror the national issue, where more than 40% of pharmacies do not stock this crucial medication, suggesting considerable challenges in medication access for opioid use disorder.

To address this challenge, Bicycle Health's pharmacy finder tool not only locates pharmacies in Oregon with available buprenorphine but also confirms insurance acceptance and ensures a stigma-free experience for patients. This tool has notably increased the success rate of locating in-stock medication to 75%, thereby significantly reducing the number of same-day unfilled prescriptions. With a 99% same-day fill rate for buprenorphine through this tool, Bicycle Health is helping to bridge the treatment gap in a tangible, impactful way.
