Oh, and to Freepath

Can't edit my message anymore but wanted to share this story...

Oh, and just to share a story. There was this guy in there (treatment program) who got busted for smoking pot. He'd been with the Union for 25 or 30 years. Never had any problem but did test positive once. Nice guy, ready to retire, straight shooter. At any rate, the company made him go to this rehab (I am convinced no problem). He did his time and then on what was supposed to have been his last night, the therapist announced he'd been approved for eight more sessions per his insurance. Not cool. The guy got up and walked out and that was it. I do believe that these programs are motivated based on money - in part. My last job was as a case manager for a social service outfit. It came down to billable hours, even if it meant making stupid phone calls to bill for and not helping clients one iota. Yeah, I did care getting in, but got out thinking forget it. So I am somewhat familiar with the system. Anyway, your post made me think of this.
