Dopesick Nation

A new show on the Viceland Channel, set in Florida, the rehab capitol of the world. It's about two recovering addicts who try to get other addicts into rehab, and the rehab industry itself.

It's definitely not a feel good story.

There's some big money to be made in the rehab industry.

I have atched for about 20 min the other night and when one of the guys had overdosed and was dead one chackhead yelled at the girl crackhead and she ran in the backyard where the dead guy was. She called 911 and the dispatcher told her how to do CPR and she had narcan with her, while giving CPR she shot him with the narcan and he shortly just sat up and calmly starting talking to her. The the ambulance showed up and yaada... Yadda..
It didn't keep my interest.. I can got to Muncie or Marion and see it live if I wish.

I often wonder what it costs the taxpayers to keep one person in rehab for 6 months to a year..
