“CNN has a pretty powerful investigative series on California’s dysfunctional treatment system. Over $185 million per year of state and federal money goes into California’s drug rehab counseling program, much of it lining the pockets of unscrupulous clinics who pay people $5 to sign in (or simply invent clients). While each state has a different system, the fraud and abuse in treatment is a national problem as the treatment industry has become a hugely lucrative business, with lots of taxpayer money to tap and tons of ‘addicts’ who are required to go through treatment because of their involvement in the criminal justice system.”
