A lot of places now will tell people: oh yeah, we're non-step, and then they'll have one SMART meeting a week or something like that, where they're just kind of. So what's cooked into that is that you're out of control, which is a lie, which is disease in different clothing.
What if the very places designed to help you recover from addiction are riddled with corruption and inefficacy? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar peel back the curtain on the dark sides of addiction rehab and treatment. They expose the murky practices and unethical methods that plague many rehab facilities, casting a critical eye on the often glorified 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous.
Scheeren and Dunbar dive deep into the tangled relationship between AA and the treatment industry, revealing how financial incentives drive a cycle that benefits the institutions more than the individuals seeking help. They highlight the stark power dynamics within rehab centers, where executives rake in profits while frontline staff grapple with dissatisfied patients. This episode challenges the conventional wisdom that rehab is always the best path to recovery, urging listeners to think independently and question the status quo.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into identifying corrupt practices in addiction treatment and learn about alternative recovery approaches that prioritize personal autonomy over institutional dependency. The hosts emphasize the importance of taking control of one's own recovery journey, moving past the endless loop of traditional rehab. Tune in to uncover the truth about addiction treatment and discover new ways to reclaim your life.
