Managing recovery is tough enough on its own.

It can be physically, mentally, and emotionally stressful. Additionally, the stigma that comes along with addiction can present significant challenges.

Join us on Thursday, August 22nd 2pm - 3pm ET/11am - 12pm PT for a conversation dedicated to exploring effective strategies to cope with the stigma that society has placed on addiction.

In a survey of over 300 current Bicycle Health patients, it was found that over 53% of people with OUD spend at least $800 a month on opioids prior to entering treatment.

“If we want to help patients and the healthcare ecosystem address OUD at a population scale, we’ll need to grow our understanding of the diverse group of people impacted by the disease.”
- Dr. Scott Weiner, MD, MPH

This month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) took steps to expand access to opioid use disorder treatment through its new final rule, which includes a provision that permanently allows for the initiation of treatment (methadone and buprenorphine) via telehealth.

Dr. Brian Clear, chief medical officer of Bicycle Health, said “it’s about time” that the HHS final rule was passed, but noted that there are limitations.

Dig in to the limitations at the MedCity News article below ↓

HHS recently released a final rule that allows practitioners in Opioid Treatment Programs to start patients on methadone or buprenorphine via telehealth. However, the final rule does not apply to the broader range of providers, leading telehealth advocates to call for additional changes from the DEA...

Decades into the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in American history, people are dying at higher rates than ever. Between 2017 and 2021, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids jumped from 47,600 to 80,411.

The main culprit remains stigma.

Opioid addiction doesn’t get as many headlines as it used to, but the crisis is as bad as ever. It doesn’t have to be.

Several COVID-era flexibilities relied upon by opioid treatment programs and their hundreds of thousands of patients will become permanent later this year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) said last week.

"We encourage our regulators to support more patient-centered and evidence-based rulemaking. The next necessary step is for the DEA to remove arbitrary in-person requirements for addiction medicine specialty programs and primary care programs in their broader rulemaking since opioid treatment programs are just a small part of our national treatment infrastructure.”

We've partnered with Talkspace, the nation’s largest telemedicine-based therapy provider covered by insurance!

Despite the 7.7 million Americans with co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorder, more than half receive treatment for neither. The need for therapy is high, but barriers to care – like stigma, access to licensed therapists, and affordability – prevent many people from getting treatment. Collaborations between telehealth-based providers centralizes access to care and makes treatment more accessible, convenient, and affordable.
