FBI raids Sovereign Health rehab

2. Thanks for posting this.

Yes, as a "long-time rehab consultant" my esposo spends a fair amount of time dealing with the results of the "rehab as a profit center" mentality, and it is DEFINITELY getting a lot worse, very fast.

We haven't seen wholesale destruction of valuable resources for people who need help with treatment and recovery on this scale since the managed care invasion of the 1980s.

We've advised all our rehab organization clients to stop doing any "online marketing" other than having a good website and any social media streams they manage IN HOUSE, and not sign up with aggregators, "1-800" vendors, and online "listing" sites, AT ALL. There used to be some good ones, they've been overwhelmed by the shysters, shills, grifters, and corporate con artists.

It's heartbreaking.

Many good rehab programs have been "acquired" by corporate pillagers looking to make a quick profit on "improving" the bottom line by gutting services and cutting expenses, riding the program's reputation just long enough to show the "improved" bottom line, and then selling it on to another for-profit shark.

Orange County and Florida... sadly, we're telling people to avoid them in general, unless they do lots and lots of homework, double-checking, personal references checkup, etc. And even then, be prepared to run, if they see any of the danger signs of insurance fraud, patient brokering, etc.

sadly,
