A major breakthrough in the war against opioid addiction may have been made by a southeast Indiana company.
“This is the biggest unmet need in addiction treatment globally,” says Brian Carrico, vice president of sales for Versailles-based Innovating Health Solutions.
Carrico is speaking of a new piece of medical technology called the BRIDGE. It is a non-narcotic medical device that greatly reduces or eliminates withdrawal pain for drug-addicted individuals. The FDA cleared the device for use last December, but that was only for its safety, not its effectiveness which is still being assessed.
