Episode notes
In this compelling episode, Dr. John Dyben and Dr. Rachel Docekal sit down with former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to discuss his groundbreaking work cleaning up Florida’s rehab industry. From creating the nationally recognized Sober Homes Task Force to helping pass game-changing legislation, Dave shares how his office fought corruption, saved lives, and helped reduce opioid-related deaths across the county.
Tune in as Dave reflects on:
• How “patient brokering” and insurance fraud harmed vulnerable people seeking help
• The challenges of navigating federal law and loopholes in the treatment industry
• The success of the Sober Homes Task Force and what other states can learn
• His next chapter as a private attorney helping ethical behavioral health providers
• The importance of speaking out to break stigma around addiction and recovery
Dave’s insights are both inspiring and urgent—especially for families, clinicians, policymakers, and those in recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about ethics, advocacy, and meaningful reform in mental health and substance use treatment.
