Have you ever heard of patient brokering? It's a disturbing practice that's harming those seeking help for addiction. In this eye-opening episode of the Sober Grind Podcast, hosts Don and TherapyCable dive deep into the unsettling world of rehab hoppers and patient brokers in the United States.

It's a vicious cycle that not only undermines genuine recovery efforts but also puts lives at risk. The hosts lay bare how some treatment centers are complicit, creating a breeding ground for corruption. They stress the need for awareness and thorough research before committing to any treatment facility. The conversation also touches on the grim reality of third-party brokers who profit from this exploitation, effectively worsening the addiction crisis.
Laws have been passed to curb these practices, but more investigators are needed to enforce them. This episode offers a compelling look at a hidden facet of addiction recovery, urging listeners to stay informed and cautious. Tune in for a conversation that’s both revealing and essential for anyone touched by addiction.
