About Bicycle Health
Bicycle Health is a telehealth treatment provider Boston, Massachusetts that supports adults in their recovery from opioid use disorder. Past patients of the program have expressed appreciation for the convenience and anonymity of the virtual platform.
While some patients have reported challenges with communication and timely responsiveness, positive feedback highlights compassionate staff and the ease of accessing treatment from home.
Telehealth That Accepts Insurance
We like all of the ways Bicycle Health has made it possible to access treatment. The program accepts various insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna and Cigna. It offers self pay options if you are without coverage.
Virtual Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
The program specializes in virtual outpatient treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) which means you don’t have to neglect your daily responsibilities and can access this service from the comfort of your own home. It offers medication assisted treatment using FDA approved medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone).
Same Day Help in Many Cases
The program focuses exclusively on treating opioid use disorder through a virtual mode, aiming to reduce stigma and increase accessibility. It offers same day appointments and services in multiple languages to accommodate diverse needs. We value the flexibility of this program and the easy access to accessibility through telemedicine, allowing you to get the treatment you need from any location at any time.
Through this virtual service, you’ll receive a comprehensive medical consultation to give your care team a snap shot of your medical history and current situation. You’ll also have access to at-home drug screenings to help you stay accountable to your recovery plan.
We also like the behavioral health support included in this, in particular their virtual peer led support group that provides an opportunity for you to learn from others who’ve been exactly where you are. You’ll also have access to relapse prevention coaching to help you stay successful and retain skills to take with you as you move forward.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.
Treatments
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
