SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Private schools can have advantages over public schools, but for many San Diego families, the cost is simply too high. In California, private high school tuition costs, on average, more than ,000, according to Private School Review. Even though it's expensive, many parents think it's worth it for the added benefits like higher graduation rates. RELATED: New program aims to give San Diego students access to private school educationWhile California's public high school graduation rate is 83 percent, private high schools range between 83 and 99 percent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The Council for American Private Education reports that 76 percent of students who only attend private high schools continued to a four-year college, compared with 44 percent of their public school counterparts. Even though there are advantages, for many families, a private education is simply out of reach. 956

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - People across the country are crossing the border to Mexico, hoping an alternative form of therapy will cure their addiction to opioids. One former addict shared his story with 10News. He asked that we only refer to him as Bob."I had been to traditional rehabs throughout my life, mostly against my will," said Bob.He said he got hooked on painkillers after multiple injuries due to skateboarding and snowboarding. His addiction quickly escalated. He started using heroin when he was fourteen."One day, I only had or , and a friend told me, why you gonna waste your money on half of a pill? It's not going to do anything for you. You're going to be sick. Why don't you just get heroin? Just that "H-word" has a stigma attached to it, and I was like, I shouldn't, but financially, it made sense, cause when I did a bag of heroin, it did the exact same thing as 0 worth of "Oxy's", so it was kind of a no-brainer to make the switch," said Bob.He bounced in and out of rehabs, but always caved to the withdrawals."It's just like the flu times 1,000. It's a really miserable experience, and a lot of times, you feel like you're doing to die," said Bob.He was 23 years old and living out of his car when he agreed to try an alternative treatment.He heard about a clinic in Rosarito, Mexico that was treating addicts with Ibogaine. Ibogaine is described as a psychoactive alkaloid that comes from the shrub, Iboga, in West Africa.Ibogaine is illegal in the United States; classified as a Schedule I drug, or a drug with a "high potential for abuse" and "no currently accepted medical use."In Mexico, Ibogaine is unregulated. There are a handful of clinics providing the treatment just across the border from San Diego."When the medicine kicked in, it was very different than let's say, eating LSD or magical mushrooms," said Bob.Ibogaine is given in capsule form. Patients can hallucinate for more than 24 hours."My experience was tough. It wasn't easy, but it needed to be that way. It wasn't an enjoyable experience," said Bob.He described seeing a snapshot of his life while under the influence of the drug. "It pulled me out of my body and brought up these high definition bubbles that would just pop up and disappear, pop up and disappear, with images with motion video inside of them."He said he was forced to look at his life from a different perspective."They were focused on all the negative things I had done in my life. I had really hurt my family, my friends, did awful things to people and myself," said Bob.During the treatment, he was hooked up to a heart monitor and under the care of a medical staff.That was eight years ago. Bob says he's been clean ever since. He said the physical cravings for drugs were gone almost immediately, but mentally, he still had work to do."You're never going to forget how good a high feels like, you're stuck with that curse for life, but what Ibogaine does, it gives you the option of whether you have to react on that urge or not."He said Ibogaine is not a cure. Aftercare is critical to long-term recovery."It's never going to make you forget your go-to easy coping mechanism of "Oh, I can make this problem temporarily go away by getting high, but it gives you a window of opportunity."Thomas Kingsley Brown, Ph.D., runs an undergraduate program at the University of California at San Diego. Unrelated to his work at the school, he's been researching Ibogaine for a decade. In 2010, he conducted a study with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) on the outcomes of people who received Ibogaine for the treatment of opioid addiction. "Ibogaine is really helpful for taking away the withdrawal symptoms that you would ordinarily get when you stop using the opioids," said Kingsley Brown.According to Kingsley Brown, Ibogaine can reduce drug use after just one treatment, unlike the years it can take to be weaned off of Methadone or another replacement drug."It doesn't act in the same way that the standard treatments do; those are replacing the opioid at the receptor site and letting your brain continue trying to receive that type of action. Ibogaine doesn't do that," said Kingsley Brown.Patients report experiencing a "wake up call" of sorts while undergoing treatment."They realize all the harm they've been doing with their addiction. Sometimes they'll have insight into the roots of their addiction, and they come out of that with this sense that they can stop using and they change their lives. I think that makes a really big difference," said Kingsley Brown.The drug doesn't come without risks. It can be fatal for people with heart problems and other pre-existing conditions. There are also dangerous drug interactions.According to MAPS, "over 30 fatalities temporally associated with the ingestion of Ibogaine have been reported in the published peer-reviewed scientific literature."Nancy Knott is a Carlsbad based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She specializes in addiction. She does not recommend Ibogaine."It creates a psychosis, which can be so absolutely life-threatening and mentally threatening to a developing brain, or any brain, for that matter," said Knott.She is skeptical about claims that one treatment of Ibogaine will end years of addiction."The belief is that the person will have less of a withdrawal and an early start in recovery. None of that is anything I, or most professionals, would subscribe to because treating addiction involves many, many, things on every spectrum," said Knott.Treatment costs usually start around ,000. It is only legal in New Zealand, Brazil, and South Africa."I think it should be made available as a legal treatment. I don't think it should be widely made available like a dispensary, because people won't really know how to use it safely. It should really be administered by someone who knows what they're doing, but it should be made available," said Kingsley Brown. According to the County Health and Human Services Agency, one out of every eight San Diegans has a substance use disorder, but about 90 percent of those suffering from addiction do not access treatment. Bob and other former addicts say any risk associated with Ibogaine is worth it."Every time you stick a needle in your arm, it's just as dangerous as traveling to a foreign country or doing a drug that could potentially be dangerous. Heroin is far more dangerous than Ibogaine." 6439

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - NFL quarterback Drew Brees and his wife say a San Diego jeweler with lying and falsely represented the value of the jewelry sold to them.Vahid Moradi, founder of CJ Charles Jewelers in La Jolla, is accused of making friends with the Brees and then using his "relationship and position to induce" Brees to rely "on his false representations as to the investment quality and market value" of numerous diamonds, a lawsuit filed in San Diego said.In the lawsuit, Brees says he has spent multimillions of dollars in business with Moradi, purchasing jewelry as gifts and as investments.READ the lawsuit here."In total, [the Brees] invested approximately million in investment quality diamonds recommended by Moradi," the suit states. "The independent appraiser determined the true market value of the diamonds ... was approximately million less than the prices the [Brees] paid."Brees also alleges that Moradi "confessed he charged Plaintiffs a substantial markup," in one case charging a 550 percent markup, the suit alleges. Brees also argues that Moradi went so far as to conceal the true quality of the diamonds using "reflective and painted settings." Moradi has fought back against the allegation. His attorney issued a statement to 10News saying Brees has only himself to blame.RELATED: Radio show postponed after controversial tweet, new demands from Padres"Drew Brees aggressively purchased multi-million dollar pieces of jewelry. Years later, claiming to suffer ‘cash flow problems,’ he tried to bully my client into undoing the transactions," Eric George, Moradi's attorney, said. "Mr. Brees’s behavior and his belief that he was wronged because the jewelry did not appreciate in value as quickly as he hoped both demonstrate a lack of integrity and contradict basic principles of both economics and the law."He should restrict his game-playing to the football field, and refrain from bullying honest, hard-working businessmen like my client."Brees is suing for at least million in damages and court costs. 2123

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - On Friday, a group of San Diego teenagers got a lesson in what it takes to make it in San Diego. Junior Achievement of San Diego County hosted the Helix High class of seniors at their Finance Park. "These are all seniors getting ready to go into the real world, this is a program getting them real-world ready," said Valerie Hash, Capstone Manager for Junior Achievement. RELATED: Making it in San Diego: Millennials outpace Generation X in both total debt and long-term savingsWith the help of volunteers and technology, students gain the knowledge and skills to make smart financial decisions. In the four-hour crash course, students become adults for the day, complete with a salary, family, education, and debt. Once they have that information, they use their tablets to plan, budget, and save. "The number one thing I hear is kids are expensive! And I tell them, yes you are! So then they understand all the decisions their family has to make in order to make their life awesome and possible," said Hash. When taking out loans and making other purchases, students see real-world San Diego costs. RELATED: Making It in San Diego: Affording the cost of pet ownership"When we're working with students, national averages don't work. We're San Diego, California, we are extra! So we want to make sure students see that. Yes, you're going to make more money, things are going to be more expensive, how do you mitigate that? Because if you want to stay in San Diego, you should understand that," said Hash. Students were assigned various careers like psychologists, teachers, and dental assistants. They learn the importance of spending money wisely and recognizing a budget as a crucial tool.RELATED: Making It in San Diego: How to budget when you're on an inconsistent income"Number one is yes, kids are expensive, number two, yes, San Diego is expensive, but number three, it's all possible, it's doable.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Over the last year, thousands of San Diegans received incorrect water bills, but as the city recently discovered, thousands of customers received no bills at all.Officials said at a news conference Thursday afternoon that as many as 2,500 customers may have been affected over the last three to six months. In a press release sent to 10News Thursday, the city blamed a backlog of work orders and additional training for staff on a gap between meters and the public utilities department billing system.RELATED: Audit shows City sent thousands of faulty water bills?The city says meters were still collecting usage data, but the information wasn't being generated into a bill.Earlier this year, Mayor Kevin Faulconer asked the department to re-read every meter in the city. After the project was complete, workers found 10,000 meters broken, damaged or in need of replacement. The city is working to notify customers of the amounts they may owe and says that no water service will be affected. The city also promised that payment plans will be made available for customers.The issue comes on the heels of another problem with the department.
