I thank the guests. I will go to Dr. Ivers for a moment please. Will she just speak about the kind of success rates she sees in terms of treating people with addiction, trying to get them through the system, the recovery rates, and any concerns she has about the rise of harder drugs particularly the likes of fentanyl and crystal meth, which is already here but the question is where it is going. Will Dr. Ivers speak about the work she is doing and where she is positive or maybe not so positive about it?
