LIVE: Who's Getting Rich From Addiction Treatment Failures? Expert Follows the Money After Reiner Case

Over 100,000 Americans die from overdoses every year. Relapse rates run 40-90%. The treatment model hasn't fundamentally changed since the 1970s. And yet the addiction treatment industry is worth $42 billion. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're asking the question the industry doesn't want answered: is failure profitable? Is someone actively benefiting from keeping this system broken?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott returns for Part 2 of our examination following the Nick Reiner tragedy. The Reiner family had every resource available and it still wasn't enough to save Rob and Michele Reiner. So we're following the money. Every relapse is another admission, another billing cycle. Insurance companies control treatment length through utilization review, overriding doctors. There's no standardized outcome tracking — families can't comparison shop for effectiveness because that data simply doesn't exist.We examine who fights reform when it's proposed. Treatment industry lobbyists. Insurance companies. Pharmaceutical interests. The research on what works is clear: longer treatment, integrated mental health care, medication-assisted treatment. So what's blocking evidence-based care from becoming standard practice? Is this regulatory capture — the industry shaping rules to protect itself? Or is the treatment industrial complex so entrenched that meaningful change is impossible? Join us live for an unflinching look at who profits from broken promises.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AddictionIndustry #TreatmentProfits #RehabReform #ShavaunScott #InsuranceScam #OpioidCrisis #HealthcareFraud #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
