The Nick Reiner case has forced America to confront an uncomfortable truth: our addiction treatment system isn't designed to help people get better. It's designed to keep them coming back.In this episode, we pull back the curtain on a $42 billion industry built on failure. Relapse rates hover between 40-60% after treatment.
