Rehab Realities: Exposing Corruption and Finding Safer Paths to Recovery
This should not be a standardized norm for everybody.
Ever wondered if the rehab industry is as clean as it claims to be? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', Daniel and Monica Richardson pull back the curtain on the hidden dangers and corruption plaguing rehab centers in the USA and the UK. They dive into the murky waters of body brokering and the pitfalls of AA and 12-step-based rehabs, offering a stark warning for anyone considering these options.
Instead, they advocate for alternative methods like SMART Recovery, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and Harm Reduction, all supported by trained professionals like PhDs and MFCCs. The Richardsons emphasize the importance of choosing rehabs located in commercial zones with 24/7 medical staff to ensure safe detox from substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines. This episode isn't just a critique; it's a guide for making informed decisions that could save lives.
If you're navigating the complex world of addiction recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with crucial insights you won't want to miss.
