BioCorRx operates in the addiction and rehabilitation industry. The company's main product is the BioCorRx recovery program, a comprehensive addiction treatment plan. Recently, BioCorRx has seized upon a new opportunity to develop injectable Naltrexone treatments through its BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals division. BioCorRx is a unique investment opportunity with strong potential for growth within the addiction and rehabilitation industry.

Alcohol and illicit drugs are projected to result in a $41 billion cost to the U.S. healthcare system, according to the 2016 Forbes article, "Inside the 35 Billion Addiction Treatment Industry." Behavioral health treatment within the United States is also a large market, with approximately $50 billion spent each year, according to the 2014 Harris Williams article, "Behavioral Health Market Overview." BioCorRx looks ready to seize market share within these expanding markets.

Key Report Highlights:

BioCorRx is developing a new injectable form of Naltrexone with potential to replace Alkermes' Vivitrol

BioCorRx's largest and most direct competitor is Alkermes (ALKS). Alkermes markets Vivitrol, an FDA-approved injection of Naltrexone. Vivitrol is projected to generate roughly $200 million in sales for 2016, which provides an enormous growth opportunity for BioCorRx.

BioCorRx received a $2.5 million from private equity firm Alpine Creek Capital. This is the single largest investment made in the company thus far and we view this as a strong indicator of BICX's investment merits, given the intense due diligence performed prior to investment.
