• 6% of people that take an opiate for a week are still on an opiate in a year.
• About 30% that are on an opiate for 30 days are still on opiates in a year.

• There was a 5X increase in babies born with with an opiate addiction from 2000 to 2012, with an estimated 21,732 infants were born with addiction in 2012.
• Every 25 Minutes, 1 Baby is born suffering from opiate withdrawal.
