Good example! I'm interested in gathering a short list of stuff like this.
I'm considering harpooning a suggestion for a show to Dr. Phil re: drug/alcohol rehab scams in general where the Narconon network rehabs are one example in a short list.
Since he frequently does the intervention-type thing where some tortured family comes on his show and the addict is convinced to go to a rehab of Dr. Phil's choosing, I'm thinking this would be good fit for him. And since he's a democrat that loves the current administration, maybe he could try to get Obama's drug czar as an expert guest, and/or the police chief in New England that did the amnesty program turned non-profit group for addicts to turn themselves in for getting help. (since that group is publicly recommending all good rehabs as partners, I'm assuming they must have a screening process of some sort).
End result - Dr. Phil informing the public to be aware of rehab scams like a few key examples with common themes, and relaying how to investigate if you're picking a good one before sending a loved one to a shady facility, could make a solid dent via indirect swipe at Narconon's ability to con people into their programs.
