The Dark Side of Addiction Treatment: From Matthew Perry to Industry-Wide Exploitation

💔 Matthew Perry's tragic final days reveal a disturbing truth: vulnerable addicts are being ruthlessly exploited for profit.

🚨 But here's the rub: Whilst we're outraged at Perry's treatment, many of us unwittingly support similar practices in the addiction recovery sector.

🎭 "Free, impartial advice" often masks a sinister reality:

- Exorbitant commissions to treatment providers

- Patient brokering: selling addicts to the highest bidding treatment centre

- Prioritising profit over patient care

- Exploitation masked as help

🤝 Dubious referral practices compound the problem:

- "Interventionists" pocketing hefty fees for steering patients to specific centres

- GPs receiving kickbacks for referrals to particular clinics

- Online directories ranking treatment centres based on payment, not quality

- Social media influencers promoting facilities without disclosing financial ties

💊 The result? Addicts trapped in a maze of ineffective treatments, depleted finances, and eroded trust.

🌟 We can do better. We MUST do better.
