She wanted addiction treatment. She ended up in the relapse capital of America.<\/h1>\n

Brianna Jaynes asked for help for her drug addiction. Then Florida\u2019s rehab industry exploited her for profit.<\/p>\n

Brianna Jaynes wanted help for her addiction to painkillers and heroin. She ended up trapped in a cycle that focused on running up big insurance bills and landing profitable kickbacks \u2014 not addressing her drug problem.<\/p>\n

In 2015, when Jaynes was 20, she started her rehab search by calling a number she found through Google. The person on the other end of the line promised to get her help: She\u2019d be fine, and she\u2019d get into one of the best addiction treatment facilities in the country. Jaynes had little experience with addiction treatment, and, in a moment of crisis, it was exactly what she wanted to hear.<\/p>\n

But what Jaynes didn\u2019t know is that she was speaking to a broker who, despite his claims, wasn\u2019t working with the best treatment facilities. Instead, she later found out, he worked with facilities that had promised him a kickback for sending them patients. The facilities, in turn, would bill the patients\u2019 insurance for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars.<\/p>\n
