Do you or someone you love need addiction treatment? Please — before you send them anywhere — listen to this episode. What’s happening in parts of South Florida is shocking, heartbreaking, and, in some cases, deadly.

I’m Elizabeth Chance, host of Conversations with Bizzy, and after 19 years sober, I thought I’d seen it all. But the “Florida Shuffle” is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s a scheme where people battling addiction are moved from treatment centers to sober homes and back again — not to help them heal, but to line pockets.

My guest, Dave Aronberg — Palm Beach County State Attorney and co-author of Fighting the Florida Shuffle — joins me to break down how this works, the laws that made it worse, and the real damage it’s doing to families.

We talk about:

How people in recovery are being treated like dollar signs
Why some laws made fraud easier instead of harder
What ethical, real recovery care looks like
How to spot red flags before it’s too late

This isn’t just another interview — it’s a wake-up call. If you’re in the recovery community or have a loved one who is, you can’t afford not to hear this.
