This is the place I went to in 2011; it was A LOT smaller back then. The "rehab industry" has really transformed parts of SoCal into a "boom town." (note: boom towns aren't a good thing... well, maybe for a couple of people)
FBI raids Sovereign Health rehab
The recovery industry has come under fire of late for widespread insurance fraud, patient dumping and poor quality of care. Though many legitimate operators remain in the industry, long-time rehab consultants complain that recent changes in federal health care and lack of oversight by state and federal agencies are making it tougher for rehab companies to turn an honest profit. They say body brokering, in which drug-addicted patients are wooed to specific rehab centers with promises of cash payments, free health care and luxurious accommodations, has become increasingly common.
An investigation by The Southern California News Group recently found that the Los Angeles and Orange County area is known in the industry as Rehab Riviera, and is a key part of the national problem.
