Los Angeles, March 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCorRx, Inc. ('the Company") (OTCQB: BICX), a leader in addiction treatment and rehabilitation programs, announced it has entered into a letter of intent to sell the exclusive license and distribution rights of its Start Fresh Program to Fresh Start Private Midwest, LLC ("Midwest"). Under the terms of the pending agreement, Midwest will agree to pay BioCorRx, Inc. an upfront license fee plus an ongoing upfront fee per program order in the states of Minnesota, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
The combined population of these states is over 15 million people, many of which can benefit from the Start Fresh Program. Minnesota for instance, has been ranked third in a list of states with the highest percentage of residents dependent on alcohol by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an agency within the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. This pending agreement creates the potential to help countless families in all three states suffering from the ill effects of this deadly disease, the worst of which are fatalities due to overdose and impaired driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Oklahoma ranks as one of the highest states for prescription drug overdose deaths in the nation. Furthermore, the FDA has recently approved of a new pure hydrocodone painkiller that is presumably going to increase the already abysmal addiction and overdose rates nationwide. Impaired driving deaths are not only tragic, but cost Missouri taxpayers approximately $1.4 billion annually. Bringing the Start Fresh Program to these three new states will positively impact families while creating a broader revenue stream for BioCorRx, Inc.
"We are pleased about this pending deal for several reasons. A wider footprint throughout the Midwest expands our reach and increases revenues in a well-populated area" said Kent Emry, CEO of BioCorRx, Inc. "This is an indication of the potential of the Start Fresh Program to quickly become a national household brand when it comes to recovery from these debilitating addictons. Furthermore, FSP Midwest currently operates in Nebraska and we are pleased with their operations and representation of our program thus far."
