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.

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 Jacksonville, Florida, the opioid crisis has seen alarming rates of misuse and overdoses, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl being major contributors to the problem.
In 2021, Jacksonville experienced a significant number of opioid-related overdoses, with over 2,000 incidents reported. The city's opioid-related deaths have more than doubled in recent years, from 201 in 2015 to over 500 in 2020.
This surge is partly due to the increased prevalence of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid often mixed with other substances, leading to a higher risk of overdose. Local initiatives, such as the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) program, are actively working to reduce these numbers by improving surveillance and expanding access to treatment and prevention resources.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Jacksonville:
- In 2020, Duval County, where Jacksonville is located, experienced 571 fatal overdoses.
- The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responds to a heroin or opioid overdose approximately every two hours.
- In 2021, opioids were involved in nearly half of all non-fatal overdose ED visits in Florida, with an increase of over 2,000 cases from the previous year.
- From 2018 to 2022, there was a 67% increase in the rate of opioid overdose deaths in Duval County.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Jacksonville
The opioid epidemic has led to a significant increase in overdose deaths in Jacksonville and the surrounding Duval County.
- In 2020, out of 7,460 fatal overdoses reported in Florida, 571 occurred in Duval County alone.
- In 2020, Jacksonville (Duval County) accounted for 7.7% of Florida’s fatal overdoses, despite only representing about 5% of the state’s population.
The trend of increasing overdose deaths in Jacksonville is alarming:
- 2015: 201 drug-related deaths
- 2019: 440 drug-related deaths
- 2020: 556 overdose deaths
- This represents a staggering 176% increase in just five years, with a particularly sharp 26% jump from 2019 to 2020.
Demographic Data & Insights
While the opioid crisis affects all segments of society, recent data shows changing demographics among overdose victims in Jacksonville:
- The 35- to 44-year age group is experiencing the highest number of opioid overdose deaths nationally, with a 5.0% increase from 2021 to 2022.
- The Latinx population in Jacksonville has seen a slight increase in opioid deaths, rising from 2% to 4% over the last five years.
- Men are at a higher risk of opioid overdose, though women may face unique challenges related to opioid use disorder.
- There’s a growing concern for individuals aged 55 and older, as overdose deaths in this age group are increasing rapidly nationwide.
While opioid use disorder affects all segments of the population, some demographic patterns have emerged in Jacksonville:
- Nearly 62% of addiction treatment admissions were men, with women accounting for 38%.
- Both adults and children are impacted, with 4,698 adults and 825 children entering care for drug and alcohol addiction in Duval County.
- Transgender individuals may experience higher rates of chronic pain and prescription opioid use for pain management.
- Recently released prisoners have higher opioid-related death rates.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- In 2022, over 700,000 opioid prescriptions were dispensed in Duval County alone.
- While prescription rates have decreased since 2016, they remain higher than both state and national averages.
- In 2016, oxycodone was involved in 118 total deaths in Jacksonville, with 66 of these deaths directly caused by the drug.
- Of the 118 total deaths involving oxycodone in 2016, 52 were potentially due to combinations with other substances.
- Illicitly manufactured fentanyl is often mixed with heroin, cocaine, or pressed into counterfeit pills resembling prescription opioids.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
Jacksonville has been selected as one of six regions in Florida to be included in Project Opioid, a coalition created to confront the opioid overdose crisis across the state. This initiative aims to bring together community leaders, healthcare providers, and law enforcement to develop comprehensive strategies for addressing the opioid epidemic.
Project Save Lives stands out as a highly successful intervention program in Jacksonville. Here’s how it’s helped combat the opioid crisis:
- Drastically reduced the number of opioid-related deaths
- Decreased calls for service from the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department
- Focused on assisting patients with severe addiction
Some key achievements of Project Save Lives include:
- Significant reduction in opioid-related fatalities
- Improved emergency response efficiency
- Targeted support for individuals with severe opioid addiction
The success of Project Save Lives has led to recommendations for its continued monitoring and potential expansion to further address the opioid epidemic in Jacksonville.

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.
