Criticism

Despite ongoing efforts to combat addiction, there are clinics that may take advantage of vulnerable patients by billing government agencies for treatments that may help patients recover. This is a major problem as there are numerous claims of fraud in drug rehabilitation centers, where these centers are billing insurance companies for under delivering much needed medical treatment while exhausting patients' insurance benefits. In California, there are movements and law regarding this matter, particularly the California Insurance Fraud Prevention Act (IFPA) which declares it unlawful to unknowingly conduct such businesses.
