It's just staggering the abuses that I've seen and wrongful deaths...thinking that you're going for help and it turns out that they're not there to help you at all, they're just there to drain your insurance benefits.
Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at addiction treatment centers? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Habit Doctor', Dr. Jason Giles, an addiction specialist, pulls back the curtain on the murky world of addiction treatment. With his unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise, Dr. Giles reveals some uncomfortable truths about the industry that's supposed to help people heal.
From the questionable history of treatment facilities to the rise of residential centers that may not be as effective as they claim, this episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Dr. Giles doesn't shy away from the tough topics. He discusses the proliferation of non-evidence-based therapies like equine therapy, which sound good on paper but often fall short in practice.
You'll also hear about the operations of sober living facilities and the legal loopholes that allow some centers to exploit vulnerable individuals. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Giles passionately argues for stricter regulations to protect those seeking help, aiming to prevent wrongful deaths and insurance scams that plague the industry. If you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into what to look for—and what to avoid—in addiction treatment.
Tune in for a candid conversation that could change how you view rehab forever.
