Episode 10: The Addiction Treatment Industry


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we take a deeper look at the addiction treatment industry. As addiction rates rise, it only makes sense that the addiction treatment industry sees a rise in revenue. But at what cost to the individual seeking treatment services? We look at the difference between drug dependence and drug addiction, deceptive marketing tactics of the addiction treatment industry, and what reform should take place.
