Corrupt Rehab Facilities Are Now Cashing in on Patient Relapses

VICE — After entering a rehab facility, 85 percent of recovering drug addicts will relapse within a year, according to the American Addiction Centers. And according to veteran sober home owner Adam Jasinski, corrupt rehab centers in South Florida, the epicenter of the opioid treatment industry, bank on that statistic for financial gain.

On this week’s episode of DOPESICK NATION, Jasinski explains just how fraudulent facilities can put people’s sobriety, and lives, at risk.

“These places were holding barns for kids to wait ’til they relapsed,” he said of sober living homes that allegedly make shady deals with treatment centers. “So the unscrupulous people would ease that process along. They’d come through with a bag of dope, get your dirty urine, and then sell you for 2,000 bucks.”

This is terrible. It seems that almost everything is for sale these days, even sobriety.

Elder Actress Bette Midler Tweets Women are the New ‘N’ Word; Gets Dragged Back to Broadway

Really Bette Midler?

After getting dragged back to “Hokus Pokus” on social media and in the press, she deleted the tweet and apologized.

In spite of her apology, she continued to somewhat defend her statement and even used John Lennon’s words (The Beatles) for backup.

The whole thing is just too exhausting for me to dig into, but if you’re interested check out this article on USA Today.

UK Man Charged With Attempted Murder for Pushing 91 Yr Old Man Onto Subway Train Tracks

Disgusting! How could someone do this to an elder is beyond me.

What’s even more sick is that after he pushed the 91 year old man down resulting in multiple fractures and head injuries, he then tried to push a second man but the man was quicker on his feet and didn’t flinch, instead lunging towards the attacker and putting hands on him.

He needs to be put away for good. He is a danger, threat and terrorist. Thoughts?
