Fully Virtual Recovery Without Disruption

The center offers an entirely remote treatment model for opioid use disorder, one of the few in North Carolina doing so. Clients receive Suboxone prescriptions, behavioral health support, and recovery services through a secure app and video sessions, eliminating the need for transportation or clinic visits. For people balancing jobs, caregiving, or privacy concerns, this model helps make recovery not just possible, but sustainable.

Accessible Care That Meets You Where You Are

Most clients start treatment within 24 hours of enrolling. App-based messaging provides round-the-clock support, and medications are sent to local pharmacies. Drug testing happens at home, with results uploaded via photo. Clinicians and coaches help clients manage common co-occurring issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and stress. The platform offers services in multiple languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, and Tagalog.

Peer Support Built In

Recovery at Bicycle Health includes more than medication. Daily clinician- or peer-led support groups offer structure and reduce isolation, with both 12-step and non-12-step formats available. Peer recovery coaches, some with lived experience, support clients in navigating setbacks and rebuilding support systems that last.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
