Santa Ana, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/31/2017 --BioCorRx Inc. (OTCMKTS:BICX) (the "Company"), a developer and provider of advanced solutions in the treatment of alcohol and opioid addictions, today announced that the Serrano KVAC clinic, an affiliate of the Serrano Kidney and Vascular Access Center of California, in conjunction with Serrano KVAC's partner CereCare, LLC, will implement the BioCorRx Recovery Program for the Hispanic market in Los Angeles, California.
Brady Granier, CEO, President, and Director of BioCorRx, stated, "This marks the first clinic offering our program specifically to the Hispanic market. Our program has been translated into Spanish to service the Hispanic population in Los Angeles and elsewhere as needed. We are very pleased to partner with Dr. Feliciano Serrano, a leading nephrologist and vascular physician, who understands the importance of providing cutting-edge treatment for individuals with dependence on alcohol or opioids, especially within under served communities."
Dr. Serrano added, "We have been searching for solutions in this area of Los Angeles where there are very limited, if any, options for those families suffering from substance use disorder. We are very impressed with the work put into the development of the BioCorRx Recovery Program and look forward to treating our patients with it. We plan to begin awareness campaigns immediately through key media channels including Estrella TV where we will be showcasing the program on a reality TV show called EL DOC. We also plan to advertise in EL AVISO, a popular Spanish magazine, to further reach the Hispanic community of Los Angeles and will encourage those needing help to come and see us. No green card, medical insurance, or upfront cash will be needed to see us for help. If they bring the will to quit and change their life, we will find a way to help them."
