There's also a lot of money to be made in keeping addicts hooked. In South Florida, there's a huge issue where opioid addicts are put into "treatment centers" that use them to defraud insurance carriers. The victims don't get treatment but instead get the exact opposite - handlers who make money by feeding the addiction.

- alikoneko 9y agoI live in South Florida, in Palm Beach County, where the bulk of these centers are. You see a lot of addicts. I don't know of any success stories to come out of them. But its a bit unsettling to be driving down I95 and see a billboard: "IMAGINE BEING SOBER". It's really sad and scary. Delray Beach used to be a nice place before the treatment centers came in, too. I was looking for an apartment on Craigslist here not too long ago. More than half the rooms for rent I saw were "sober living" half way houses.
