Unfortunately that is why these clinics are getting away with these type practices, because of people like you that think "let the other guy deal with it"! If it weren't for people like me and about another 100 that the DEA told me has come forth to make similar complaints about the same clinic, the DEA and FDA would never know!! How do you think the DEA builds a case against a doctor or clinic that is operating illegally or dishonestly? Not because people sit back and do nothing or hope the proper authorities handle it!! That's a big cop out!!! Because people like me and the other 100 who have complained, get involved, changes will be made and caution taken when Buprenex is finally approved for use in detoxification!!!!! Why should these people be allowed to offer an illegal detox? As if you stated, you question whether it is illegal or unethical, well call the DEA, they will tell you!!! To promise people a detox service using a drug that is not approved or allowed by the FDA is ILLEGAL!!! Furthermore, to do so without following THEIR OWN promised programs and protocals is UNETHICAL!!!
I just thank the Lord for people like me and the 100 who have the motivation, intelligence and backbone to say something to the proper authorities. There will be many individuals and families spared the financial expense and emotional hurt that is being created by the mishandling of patients by this clinic.
