If Mechanics Acted Like Rehabs...
If a mechanic did this, you’d call the police immediately. Why do we tolerate it from the addiction treatment industry? Let's talk about the broken metrics of rehab.
Imagine paying $50,000 to fix your car's engine, only for the garage to tell you there is a 60% chance it explodes three weeks after you leave. And if it does? You have to pay them another $50,000 to fix it again. You wouldn’t just walk away—you’d call the Attorney General and flag it as blatant financial fraud. Yet, this exact structure is how the mainstream rehabilitation loop operates every single day. We're charging premium prices for a clinical framework that fundamentally fails to prepare people for real-world exposure, and then charging them again when the inevitable happens.
