Groups Recover Together
You do an intake, then see a prescriber (usually by video) for buprenorphine (Suboxone) and join a one-hour weekly group led by a licensed counselor, in person or online.
Bicycle Health
You book a video visit with a Bicycle Health clinician, who can prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone), often the same day, and you keep regular check-ins plus optional coaching and support groups.

The same for both: kind of help (a therapist), probably not for (anyone in crisis or overdose: call 911, or call or text 988), how you pay (insurance), privacy (grade c), hipaa (yes).
In crisis or thinking about suicide? In the US, call or text 988. This page is information from our reviews, not medical advice.
