Short description

The “Recovery” industry is killing thousands while making millions. 12-Step rehabs provide no medical diagnosis or medical treatment for what is a proven medical condition. No honest treatment center has a treatment plan in place before you arrive. That is a medical impossibility and a violation of the most basic of medical ethics. Don't go to rehab without reading this book first!

Extended description

Only a medical doctor can diagnose a chronic medical illness. Addiction is no exception, yet every year thousands of Americans are told that they have the disease of addiction or alcoholism by people with no medical credentials whatsoever. This unethical and perhaps illegal diagnosis is based on nothing more than behavioral symptoms.

There are numerous medical conditions other than addiction and/or alcoholism that have heavy drinking or drug use as behavioral symptoms. It requires a comprehensive medical diagnosis to determine what true medical issues are present, and what the appropriate treatment is for the individual patient.

Despite this obvious fact, people are still being sent, often against their will, to so-called “treatment centers” where they are told that they have a disease, but are denied any comprehensive medical evaluation or professional medical care.

This is a multi-million dollar “Rehab Racket” that heals no one, kills many, and is making con men rich -- and all with the help of courts, schools, and bounty-hunters (interventionists) who perpetuate this horrific fraud on the American public. It is a national scandal defrauding millions of people every year, destroying lives and tearing families apart.
