Treatment Magazine Explores the Big Bucks Biz of Treating Addicted Physicians

Delray Beach, FL, October 29, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Treatment Magazine, the nation's leading trade publication covering the $30 billion a year addiction treatment industry, explores how addiction centers fight tooth and nail for the highly lucrative business of treating doctors who are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

But based on the study by the two Harvard professors, which examined the 130 physicians sent to treatment over the last year in Massachusetts, and extrapolating based on the nationwide population, about 7,500 doctors were mandated to addiction care recently. That this business is highly profitable, and fought after tooth and nail by top private addictions players nationwide, there is absolutely no doubt.
