The addiction treatment industry is riddled with  tons of scams and fraudulent activity. What happens when  you encounter fraud in the addictions industry? We see all the headlines… this CEO has suddenly done something horrific, or scammed a client or the insurance company. What happens if the addictions counselor slept with his client? A lot of people in the addictions treatment industry started out as addicts that were scammers, and frauds in their real lives. Maybe they stole money, or goods, maybe they sold drugs or even went to prison and are now working in the addiction space.

Dr. Cali Estes has set out to clean up the addictions industry. Diligently paving the way for 10 plus years, she has trained over 37,000 students in 27 countries and has a full faculty all over the world. Doctors, attorneys, therapists and master coaches make up her team of professionals and ethics is the top priority of the team.
