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 Fayetteville metropolitan area grapples with significant opioid abuse issues, ranking among the most affected regions in the United States. A 2016 report placed Fayetteville as having the 18th highest opioid abuse rate nationally.
One Fayetteville resident reported losing six friends to drug overdoses in a single year, underscoring the personal toll of the opioid crisis in the community.
The city has around 750 patients undergoing medication-assisted therapy for opioid use disorder. However, there is a need for continued efforts in prevention, treatment, and support for those affected by opioid use disorder in the metro area.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Fayetteville, NC
- Approximately 7.9% of Fayetteville residents are estimated to be using opioids.
- Across North Carolina, there was a 23% increase in overdose-related emergency room visits from 2019 to 2020.
- Fayetteville ranks among the top 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S., with over 93% of North Carolina communities having lower crime rates. Fayetteville’s high crime rates may be linked to its status as one of the top 25 cities for opioid abuse in the country.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Fayetteville, NC
- Cumberland County emergency medical services responded to 1,397 overdose calls in 2019. In 2021, they responded to more than 1,950 overdose calls, which represents a 39.7% increase in just two years.
- Among opioid overdose emergency department visits, 68% now involve heroin and other illicit opioids, including fentanyl.
- For every opioid overdose death in North Carolina, there are approximately five non-fatal overdose ED visits. Each represents an opportunity to connect survivors with recovery resources and treatment.
Demographic Data & Insights
- Rural counties in North Carolina show lower illegal drug use rates (5%) compared to larger metropolitan areas (20.2%), suggesting a concentration of opioid issues in urban centers like Fayetteville.
- Fayetteville’s high opioid abuse rate puts local teens at increased risk of substance abuse.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- The rate of opioid prescriptions in Cumberland County has shown a notable decline. In 2019, there were 26.4 opioid prescriptions per 100 people. By 2020, this rate dropped to 20.8 prescriptions per 100 people.
- Cumberland County has one of the lowest opioid prescription rates compared to neighboring counties. In 2020, Buckingham County had 4.4 prescriptions per 100 people, while Cumberland had just 0.1 prescriptions per 100 people.
- Heroin is becoming easier and cheaper to obtain in Cumberland County. Heroin and other substances are increasingly being laced with fentanyl.
- In 2020, approximately 70% of drug overdose deaths in North Carolina involved fentanyl.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
- Widespread distribution of naloxone, a life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses, is a key initiative in the area. Since October 2015, local police have administered naloxone to 281 individuals, and 83.4% of these interventions resulted in successful overdose reversals, saving 241 lives.
- Fayetteville has implemented the LEAD program, a pre-booking diversion initiative that redirects low-level drug offenders to community-based treatment and support services instead of arrest and prosecution. This approach aims to reduce recidivism, decrease the burden on the criminal justice system, and connect individuals with substance use disorders to resources.
- Governor Cooper proposed $12 million in statewide mental health funds to combat the opioid crisis, with an additional $2 million for local law enforcement efforts.
- North Carolina counties and municipalities will receive over $640 million over 18 years from opioid settlement litigation, with larger counties eligible for up to $1.5 million annually.
- In 2017, North Carolina received over $15.5 million through the 21st Century Cures Act to address the opioid crisis, focusing on prevention, treatment, and recovery support.

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.

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.
