Detox can end in death at some ‘non-medical’ SoCal rehabs

Below it All –

Dec. 17, 2017 – “This is the beginning of your beautiful new life!” So began a contract for Above It All Treatment Center, a drug rehabilitation facility in Lake Arrowhead where, in February, Matthew Maniace signed himself in for detox … What Maniace might not have known when he signed the admission form is that Above It All is what California regulators call a “non-medical” facility, which means it is not staffed by doctors…Few know that detox typically happens in tract houses, or that the most stringent medical requirement might be the full-time presence of someone who knows CPR.
