Is There a Governing Agency That Monitors Drug/alcohol Rehab. Policies and Practices?

Question by Laydee Y: Is there a governing agency that monitors drug/alcohol rehab. policies and practices?
I voluntarily entered a rehab in Long Beach for help with alcoholism. At the time, I was so physically sick with head-cold/flu, and when they put this lady in the room, I complained and asked to change rooms (I COULD NOT SLEEP) because she snored SOOO LOUD. I was literally thrown out in a hospital gown, I was so sick, they had been giving me all kinds of knockout drugs, I had no shoes, no money (they couldn’t find their key for the locker where my personal belongings were), was dangerously close to a relapse, but they threw me out on the street anyway. They actually locked me out when I was – or so I was led to believe – there for help with my alcoholism. This was in 2001. In 2006 they started billiing me for this so called stay! I want to report this to some State Authority that will take this type of therapy and put a stop to it. I was shocked they would even consider billing me for their “services” . Any ideas anyone?

The logical thing to do would be to see an attorney. These bills will go on your credit record if ignored, even though they are unfair. Find an attorney fast and sue them.

While I do not believe for a moment that you were thrown out in your hospital gown (come on)……….you can contact a lawyer and see if you have a case.
