Yes, they are. They have to show an ID in order to pick it up. Now, the prescription itself is a C2 prescription, so if we don't recognize them at the pharmacy, we have to ask them for their ID to make sure that is indeed the person who is picking it up. We also have a program in Georgia, in fact, a program that you are very familiar with, a prescription drug monitoring program, that allows us to go and check a database to see if that person has actually been doctor shopping or is pharmacy shopping and getting it at other places. That has helped us. It is a great tool in fighting this epidemic.
