The High Price of Profiteering Off Addiction The sentencing of Erik Fleming, a drug addiction counsellor, in connection with Matthew Perry's overdose death has raised disturbing questions about the exploitation of vulnerable individuals by those who claim to help them.
The case highlights the intersection of addiction treatment and profit driven interests, where medical professionals, including doctors and dealers, supply ketamine to clients.
Fleming, a counsellor who should have guided his clients towards recovery, was instead sourcing and distributing ketamine, which contributed to their downfall.
