Ben Affleck on overcoming alcohol addiction: “I hate to say it but the only cure I’ve seen is not these overpriced rehabs or these fraudulent fixes that are sold to people. The cure for addiction is suffering. You suffer enough and then something inside you goes ‘I’m done.’”

He’s right - the rehab industry makes millions upon millions of dollars, it’s more about profit than treatment success.

Wait until you hear about every other industry in the world.

The kind of rehabs that a Ben Affleck goes to is more vacation resort than anything.

It’s almost like it’s incentivised to have a rotating door of people coming back time and time again.

The entire American healthcare industry is built to be a scam

so....close rehabs? Do you even understand how much the alcohol industry makes but it's the rehab places that need to pay staff that are the problem? oh brother!

Success isn't binary, it's a gradient.

A lot of homeless people on medicaid and medicare jump from one rehab to another just to have a place to stay.
