It’s about time,” said Michael Cartwright, CEO of American Addiction Centers. “Anything that looks into bad practices around the treatment industry is something we’re supportive of.”
Cartwright continued: “I view this as a great opportunity to start a conversation with legislators. How about the feds getting in on the action in this area? We’ve worked to get laws passed in Florida, in Tennessee, and now in California – it would be a lot easier if the federal government passed some meaningful regulations, rather than doing it state by state by state.” American Addiction Centers owns several websites that handle inquiries for its centers – much as the revered Betty Ford Center has its own hotline, he said – and Cartwright suspects AAC got the letter because of its national size and scope.
