27 years is a fair sentence for Kenny Chatman. The FBI Agents who worked on this case deserve a lot of respect. I first heard about this unscrupulous individual in late 2015 when I was in an IOP program. This is gods work and peoples lives are at stake so this is the first of many steps in the right direction. In my humble opinion people should have better jobs lined up for them besides boiler room call centers coming out of detox. In other words my goal would be to actually help addicts find jobs, actually place them with various employers. Many people are set up to fail, I have seen this first hand. I have watched this for many months. It is a hard enough struggle as it is to get sober so we don't need obstacles that set us up for failure. Lets take a look at a system where the only solid employment one can get coming out of detox or rehab is a call center. Some of these places are legit but most are not especially in South Fla. South Fla is the fraud capital of the United States. So you have liaisons that not only place clients into various sober homes but then they get commission for placing their new recruit into an environment which isn't exactly on the up and up. What does that say about the industry in general that maybe the entire thing is a charade and a con? Fla is a slave labor non Union right to starve state and this needs to change. The higher ups don't seem to care because it has always been about them. Look at our elected officials that should say it all. Do you think these people care if we live well below the poverty line for the rest of our life. $8-9 dollars per hour minimum wage jobs sorry but you people are criminals and are beyond greedy. People cant survive on this and they know it, so why don't they make some changes? There needs to be better fits out there for newly sober addicts besides tech jobs and server positions. These positions are even hard to get because there are so many addicts looking for employment that the demand far exceeds the supply. My business plan would be to have potential sober clients take advantage of chiropractor and massage therapy as a recruitment tool to get them into ones sober home. This is legitimate because there has already been many studies to substantiate the beneficial effects of a MBS- Mind Body Spirit program to help mitigate symptoms of anxiety and depression. We can throw a little Yoga and Thai Chi into the mix as well. Mindfulness Based therapy sessions should be part of the curriculum as well as K-9 and equine therapy. So basically this is just transferring the various high end rehabs curriculum over to the sober homes, this was my idea 5 years ago when I created mysoberteam. As well as helping clients find jobs and placing them they would be able to utilize the cutting edge tools of MBS that can only be found in high end treatment facilities. This would help us to feel good about ourselves to not only get sober but this will help us to actually stay sober. Especially if this means finding a career that one can feel good about working as a humble servant. When self esteem is enhanced this tends to lead to a higher recovery rate. People that criticize rehabs for their luxury amenities tend to label them as escapes from reality and worthless vacations however many of these people aren't living in reality themselves. I have felt first hand the benefits of chiropractor, massage therapy, healer within mediation sessions and acupuncture. Most addicts and alcoholics have had difficult lives one way or another regardless of their socio economic background. Things usually weren't that great before we picked up the drink or drug and for the most part it only went down hill from there. Trauma and coping skills are what MBS can bring to the table. If an addict is stuck in rehab and not sure what their next move is going to be doesn't it make sense for them to go to a sober home facility that actually sets them up to succeed? Better Jobs, better coping skills and a healthier environment. We need to something because right now too many people have already lost their life. And last night I saw this new drug Gray Death on the news the list goes on.
