My focus is really to bring awareness and education to the online recovery community regarding the rogue treatment center industry and their unscrupulous marketers, with the hope that one less person will be victimized.
Imagine navigating a maze, only to find that some paths lead to more harm than help. In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', John Shinholser and Carol Terwilliger from A Lions Roar dive deep into the murky waters of the addiction treatment industry. They pull back the curtain on the troubling practices that many treatment centers and marketers engage in, exposing a world where integrity often takes a backseat.
John and Carol, seasoned veterans in the recovery community, don't hold back as they discuss the prevalence of 'body brokering' and the unethical shuffling of patients between dubious centers. These practices, they argue, exploit vulnerable individuals and perpetuate stigma around addiction recovery. Dave Ehrenberg, the state's attorney, also weighs in, highlighting that these issues aren't confined to one region but are a nationwide problem. This episode isn't just about pointing out the bad apples; it's a call to action.
Carol passionately advocates for awareness and education within the recovery community, urging people to recognize and avoid these predatory practices. She also emphasizes the importance of showcasing good treatment centers that genuinely help people on their recovery journey. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply want to understand the complexities of the treatment industry, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to hear firsthand accounts and expert opinions that shed light on how we can foster a more ethical and supportive recovery environment.
