WATCH – HOLLYWOOD FICTION? –

Jan. 26, 2021 – Over the past couple years, I’ve read several articles about shady rehab facilities and treatment programs, so when I was offered the opportunity to check out the new indie movie Body Brokers, I leapt at the chance. Now, Collider can exclusively debut a trailer and a poster for the indie crime drama, which hails from writer-director John Swab — himself a former addict… 

Indeed, as Body Brokers explains, when the Affordable Healthcare Act was signed in 2008, it required every healthcare provider to cover substance abuse treatment. Since the bill was passed, nearly 2,000 sober livings, 100 in-patient treatment centers, and 200 detox facilities have opened up, and that’s just in Southern California alone. That is nearly 35,000 beds that need to be filled each month, and almost 500,000 beds that need to be filled each year, which means that the dirty business of getting clean is a multi-billion dollar industry.
