RX Only: See important safety information about Suboxone
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.

I felt accepted, without judgment, from the first phone call. I truly felt respected and cared for which is hard to find these days. On my first intake phone call Christina was wonderful, and my practitioner Christine is superb. I never thought I would find a service like yours but I am grateful that I did.

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 Orlando and Orange County, Florida, the opioid crisis has reached alarming levels, with a significant increase in opioid-related overdoses and fatalities in recent years. The area has seen a dramatic rise in overdose deaths, largely driven by the widespread misuse of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid.
Orlando faces specific challenges related to the opioid crisis due to its central location, making it a key point for drug trafficking, its proximity to major highways, airports, and ports, and its large transient tourist population. These factors have made Orlando a significant location for drug use and trafficking throughout the United States.
Emergency departments are frequently overwhelmed by opioid-related emergencies, reflecting the severity of the crisis. Local efforts to combat the epidemic include expanding access to naloxone, enhancing community outreach programs, and increasing the availability of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and other addiction recovery services.
Despite these efforts, the region continues to grapple with the pervasive impact of opioid addiction on individuals and families.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Orlando
- There were over 2,300 emergency medical services (EMS) responses to suspected opioid overdoses in 2023 in Orange County.
- Naloxone was administered nearly 2,900 times in 2023.
- In 2022, there were nearly 1,200 non-fatal opioid overdose cases treated in emergency departments.
- In Orange County, nearly 7,5000 opioid overdose cases were treated in emergency departments between 2011 and 2015.
- Since 2005, opioid-related ED visits have increased by 141%.
- This increase in opioid-related ED visits in Orange County is nearly 3 times the national average increase for the same period.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Orlando
- In the first three months of 2017, Orange County reported 23 overdose deaths, compared to 26 in all of 2016.
- Orange County Sheriff’s Office responds to up to 3 drug overdose calls daily.
- 70% of overdose deaths between 2011 and 2015 involved opioids.
- There were 364 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2022 in Orange County.
- The opioid overdose death rate for 2022 was 23.8 per 100,000 residents.
Demographic Data & Insights
While opioid addiction does not discriminate, certain patterns have emerged in Orlando and the surrounding areas:
- Young adults show the highest rate of nonmedical use of prescription opioids.
- Men account for a disproportionate number of opioid-related deaths.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
While heroin contributes significantly to overdoses in Orlando, prescription drugs are considered the greatest threat in Central Florida by officials. This aligns with statewide efforts to combat prescription drug abuse.
Florida has implemented key legislation to address this issue:
- Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (Section 893)
- Pill Mill Law on Opioid Prescribing and Utilization (Section 458)
State Funds & Resource Allocation
The Florida Overdose Data to Action (FL-OD2A) program, supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a cornerstone of the state’s surveillance efforts and includes:
- Improving real-time data collection on overdoses
- Enhancing surveillance infrastructure
- Informing prevention policies and actions
- Implementing a cohesive system response to decrease opioid misuse and opioid use disorder
The Orlando Police Department has established a dedicated Overdose Investigative Unit to respond to and investigate overdoses, with the goal of reducing deaths. This unit offers:
- Rapid response to overdose incidents
- Investigation of drug dealers and suppliers
- Support for victims’ families
- Case management and follow-up

The best way to find out is to contact your insurance company.
If you do not have insurance, the cost can vary based on the prescribed dose.

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.

- Buprenorphine/naloxone (Subxone) which is available in outpatient clinics (at your primary care doctor’s office or a psychiatrist’s office)
- Naloxone (Vivitrol) which is available in outpatient clinics (at your primary care doctor’s office or a psychiatrist’s office)

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.
