Addressing Unmet Challenges in Addiction Treatment
We have created the Beat Addiction Recovery Program to address some of the biggest, previously unmet challenges related to addiction treatment: the low rates of long-term sobriety. One study, for example, found that only 46% of addicts who attended a residential treatment program managed to stay in recovery (only about 40% of that number managed to stay completely clean and sober).
An elegantly simple solution to reduce cravings
In the past, treatment has been focused on the emotional needs and behaviors associated with addiction while ignoring or underutilizing pharmacological solutions that go to the heart of addiction: the intense craving to use.
A real illness requires real medication
It is much like telling a diabetic, who should be prescribed insulin depending on their individual situation, to rely solely on nutrition and exercise without giving them the medications they may need to actually treat their medical condition.
BioCorRx® is uniquely poised to gain significant market share of the $35 billion annual treatment market in the US.
