I am a COI editor, disclosed above. I'd request consideration of the following:

1. Please delete this "Controversy" sub-section:

Cost prohibitive
In an episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver and Vice's Vice Reports, Taite and Cliffside Malibu faced criticism for being cost prohibitive with a 30-day stay going as high as $80,000 or more for programs and amenities that many experts deem to be unnecessary and lacking medical benefit. Comment:

1. John Oliver Show is a comedy show and not a RS. It doesn't support the statement, in any case. John Oliver says it seems like a lot of money, but he's not an expert and not making a claim about outcomes or benefits. There's no actual expert who says anything about Cliffside Malibu on the segment.

2. I've watched the Vice Report carefully and there's only one expert, Lance Dodes, quoted about costs, not many, and he's never speaking specifically about Cliffside Malibu. As the Vice Report says, there are many drug rehab programs in the city of Malibu, which is a "hotbed" of such programs. It's WP: SYN to specifically say the expert doctor talking about Cliffside Malibu and Taite, or speaking on behalf of "many experts." The reporter of this piece does go to visit Cliffside Malibu right after speaking to the expert, but we don't know how the expert would evaluate the Cliffside program if allowed to look in depth at its specific protocols and outcomes. "[D]o not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source." WP: SYNTH

I think the expert was careful not to mention specific programs such as Cliffside Malibu because he knows it would be irresponsible to single any one out without taking the time to research it. An expert's general criticism about the cost of one school of rehab facilities could go in the article about Drug rehabilitation, rather than into an article about a company not mentioned by the expert.

3. In the event it is decided to keep the "faced criticism" sentence, there is a contrary opinion from a Reliable Source, which should be included as the response:

"Taite says that patients in treatment are looking for an excuse not to stay and that the amenities provided by Cliffside remove reasons to leave."


 * 3a. In the event it is decided to keep the "faced criticism" section, please delete "Cost Prohibitive" as a sub-section and "Criticism" as a section, moving the relevant paragraph instead to start as sentence three of paragraph three of the section "Addiction Treatment" (after sentence that ends "...turndown service."), which is already about the same subject. Article shouldn't have a separate "Criticism" section,except in special circumstances such "particular worldviews, philosophies or religious topics etc." WP: CRITS.
