A study by a team of Magellan researchers, demonstrating the pervasiveness of opioid addiction, was featured on CBS Philly (KYW).
The study, an analysis of medical and pharmacy data from 2009—2012 for 2.5 million people aged 20-64 who were part of a commercial health plan, showed that 48 percent of patients who had stopped using opioids for at least six months went on to use them again.
