Somebody wants your body and they’re willing to pay for it! This week on RMA, Mike and Nat dive deep into the seedy side of the recovery industry, and the multi-million-dollar profits to be made funnelling addicts to treatment centers.
Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in the recovery industry? This episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages' peels back the curtain to reveal the murky world of addiction treatment profiteering. Mike and Nat take a hard look at 'Body Brokers', a film that exposes the shady business of funneling addicts into treatment centers for huge profits. But it's not just a movie review; it's a deep dive into a system that preys on vulnerability.
Alongside their cinematic critique, the guys discuss different recovery methods, from the traditional 12 Step programs to alternative approaches. They don't shy away from the tough questions about maintaining sobriety in suburban life, either. How do you stay sober when you're juggling work, family, and the pressures of everyday life? And what about the Sober-Curious movement—why is it stirring up so much controversy?
Plus, there's a segment on Recovery in the News and even a bizarre story from the Week in Weird. With their usual mix of humor and honesty, Mike and Nat make this episode both eye-opening and engaging. If you're curious about the darker side of addiction recovery or just looking for some real talk on staying sober, this episode is for you.
