IN this episode, we disscussed.

• Corey’s book Selling Sanity exposes how the “troubled teen” industry profits from parental fear and confusion.

• Families are sold expensive “treatment” by salespeople, not licensed clinicians.

• Programs often use unqualified staff, false marketing, and pressure tactics to “fill beds.”

• Corey draws on his dual experience as a survivor and behavioral health expert to reveal how profit motives replace patient care.

• He urges parents to:

  1. Slow down and avoid panic decisions.

  2. Verify credentials and demand real data.

  3. Try outpatient care first—most cases don’t need residential programs.

• The industry’s high profits (30–55%) and loose regulations allow fraud and abuse to thrive.

• Corey emphasizes that adolescence and midlife are developmental stages, not disorders—real therapy helps people grow, not just get “fixed.”
