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 Reno metropolitan area has been significantly impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis. While specific data for Reno is limited, statewide statistics and trends provide insights into the current situation.
Nevada has experienced a concerning rise in opioid-related issues. As of 2022, nearly 23% of adults in the state had used illicit or nonmedical prescription drugs (excluding cannabis), ranking Nevada third highest in the country for this metric. This high prevalence likely extends to the Reno metro area.
Key Statistics on Opioid Use in Reno
- Nearly 23% of Nevada adults reported using illicit or nonmedical prescription drugs (excluding cannabis), making it the third highest rate in the country.
- Emergency crews in Reno report responding to 8 to 10 overdoses within a 12-hour shift.
- Approximately 1,700 inpatient hospitalizations per year in Southern Nevada were attributed to opioid-related issues.
- In 2013, opioid-related intoxications cost Southern Nevada’s health system about $9.3 million in emergency department service costs and $92.5 million in inpatient healthcare costs.
Opioid Overdose Statistics in Reno
- Opioid overdose deaths account for approximately 18.9 deaths per 100,000 people in Nevada. While this rate is lower than the national average of 24.7 deaths per 100,000, it represents a 15% increase since 2011.
- Nevada’s opioid-related overdose death rate is 18.9 per 100,000 people. This rate is lower than the national average of 24.7 per 100,000.
- Nevada has seen a 15% increase in opioid-related deaths since 2011.
Demographic Data & Insights
- Compared to non-Hispanic whites, the odds of accidental opioid poisoning were 22% higher for non-Hispanic Blacks and 61% higher for Hispanics.
- In metropolitan areas like Reno, unemployment and ethnic diversity are associated with higher rates of opioid use.
Common Opioids & Prescribing Trends
- In 2018, Nevada providers wrote 55.5 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons, slightly above the national average of 51.4 prescriptions.
- Nevada’s most widely prescribed opioid is oxycodone, with the state ranking among the highest in the country for its prescription rate.
- Heroin remains a major concern for local law enforcement and health officials.
- Fentanyl is increasingly found in the illicit drug supply, often mixed with other substances without users’ knowledge.
State Funds & Resource Allocation
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office is working closely with various law enforcement partners to combat the opioid epidemic. These efforts include the following:
- Targeting drug trafficking organizations
- Investigating healthcare fraud related to opioid prescriptions
- Improving access to the Prescription Monitoring Program database for more effective investigations
- Community Impact NC works in partnership with communities to create evidence-based practices and education that prevent and minimize the harm of substance use.
- Safety Outreach System is a locally developed app that allows Reno residents to report and track potentially dangerous batches of drugs and clusters of overdoses. The Northern Nevada Harm Reduction Alliance manages this app and sends out push notifications to alert residents of potential dangers

The cost of buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) varies based on your insurance. Most Medicare and private insurance companies DO cover generic buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), though may specify the formulation (film vs tab) and set dose limits. 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. Patients unable to afford buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) (regardless of insurance coverage) can apply for cost-assistance. The company that makes Suboxone offers this type of program to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses. To learn more, go to: inSupport program.

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.
