Lack of Oversight In Treatment Industry Leads To Corruption

HEALTH-CARE IS WEALTH-CARE –

Feb. 7, 2024 – The report highlighted questionable practices at treatment facilities and sober living houses that the state has been investigating for years. They included allegations of “patient brokering.” Investigators also found instances of tax evasion and fraud. And concerns about false marketing.

“Fraud, unethical conduct and wrongdoing were found in businesses at every stage of the recovery process, sometimes starting as early as an overdose victim’s first encounter with an addiction professional at their hospital bedside or during an online search for treatment,” investigators wrote.

Investigators identified several peer recovery coaches — people who themselves struggled with addiction who now help other patients navigate the treatment system — who had accepted money from specific treatment centers to send patients their way.
