Ever wondered what really goes on behind the doors of addiction recovery centres?

They share gripping stories of individuals caught in the cycle of addiction and rehab, and the courage it takes to break free.
Christine shares a powerful story about Caitlin, who faced numerous challenges in rehab due to a physical disorder, and how traditional rehab models often fall short by over-relying on medication and exploiting insurance. Angie and Christine discuss the pitfalls of these models, including the shocking practice of 'rehab shopping' where individuals manipulate the system for free drugs and a place to stay, without truly seeking recovery.
