Question by pumpernickel: If Medicare refuses to pay, is medical malpractice involved?
“This service cannot be paid when provided in this location/facility”. This is written on the Medicare summary.
Why would a government agency refuse to pay for a treatment in an ER? Is it possible that it is illegal to do certain procedures or to give certain drugs/medications in an ER?
Medicare covered part of the claim but not the part for the drug.

Answer by Barry auh2o
The facility simply did not sign an contact with Medicare. There’s nothing illegal about that, nor is there any indication of malpractice.

Question by Galatians; 5-1: Why Would a Religious Organization, Professing Having the “Truth” also have, a “Drug Rehabilitation Center”?
This group has denied they have a “drug problem” within their “Organization” How did this happen with all the promises of happiness, and real LOVE?

They are not being persecuted for righteousness sake, so why are so many members seeking rehab for major drug abuse?
God said He would not allow His people to be tested “beyond what they could endure”…so why the heavy drug use?

Why did they hide this here when asked if their was a drug problem? They said we were lying about this…
They are addicted, yes many are, that is why this company is offering them assistance.

They will also need money to pay for this rehab…see;

No Hannah…I exposed it, why don;t you explain it?
This rehabilitation center is not legally able to use the name “Jehovah’s Witnesses” unless they have a legal license to do so. The WTBTS would have to give their permission, based on rehab instructions that are tailored to the Church of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I hope you are not uncomfortable if you ever have to go there.

Answer by Khakidoodle
Christians are human, as are all faiths, and we live in the world, and drug abuse may not be common in mature Christians, but it does and will happen, and many are defensive about it.

Question by Who?: what are some good topics I could bring up in addictions counseling sessions?
I am a counselor in training, I am looking for topics for a group counseling session, I would like to avoid topics like “What triggers an urge to use” because I do not feel totally comfortable with my skills in redirection. I was thinking of something like “What types of activities do you plan on doing after leaving the treatment program?” (hobbies, interests, jobs that would help them stay clean) What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for topics?

Answer by Daisy
I have grown up in a family full of alcoholics, some still are, some have “stopped”. I think a key point to ask, Who do you want to be? What were your goals before the drugs came into your life? I think it’s important to have them go back in time, and think about when they were children, what there goals were, and how getting off there life path got them to where they are know, sometimes when you talk to addicts it’s good to have them remember there “innocent” years, have them remember the simplicity’s in life that made them happy. I am not a counselor, I am a Holistic Health practitioner, and I try to get to the root of people, because I believe once we can do that, it becomes easier for the person to re-evaluate what they are doing and makes them WANT to be “good” again..good luck, hope I helped a little. 😉
