One of the largest addiction treatment companies in the country is on the hook for millions of dollars after a jury found it partly liable for the death of a California man.Shaun Reyna killed himself less than a day after checking into a treatment facility in Murrieta.“Shaun Reyna is a good man,” said attorney Jude Basile.In an interview with 10News, Basile said Reyna was losing his eyesight after 20 years working in a factory. He eventually lost his job, and depression led to drinking and self-medication.Reyna and his family decided treatment was the best option.He ended up going to a spot called A Better Tomorrow in Murrieta, which is part of the parent company American Addiction Centers. The location was more than 300 miles from his home in Atwater.Basile said less than a day after Reyna was admitted, "He was found dead due to self-inflicted cuts and bled to death."In February, a jury awarded the family a million verdict against American Addiction Centers and other defendants. The jury found them negligent.Court documents claimed “Decedent should have never of been admitted into ABTTC (A Better Tomorrow Treatment Center) DEFENDANTS program, and instead should have been referred to a facility/program that could provide the level of services he needed. ABTTC DEFENDANTS admitted Decedent Shaun Reyna knowing they could not provide the level of service he needed. They did so out of pure greed, putting profit ahead of patient safety.”According to a news release from the law firm representing the Reyna family, evidence revealed a call center that was staffed by people with little to no experience in addiction screening."When they called the call center they would be met with folks at the intake call center that were being paid on commission, that had quotas, and whose job was simply to sell, not to properly screen, but to sell,” said Reyna family attorney Jeremiah Lowe.In one of the recorded calls between Reyna and a treatment center representative you can hear the desperation in Reyna's voice.“Yeah, I have to do something," Reyna said. “Because I can't -- I feel like I can't hold on any longer.” A representative on the other end told him he understood. “I get it. We're reaching crisis mode, and if -- you need to get into a safe environment.”An addiction specialist who testified as an expert for the Reyna family told 10News the first thing the treatment center should have done was referred Reyna to a higher level of care than they were providing."The complications that can result if it’s not treated properly are seizures, strokes, hallucinations, confusion and things like what happened in this case with depression and suicide and they also required very close observation,” said Dr. Michel Sucher.The head of American Addiction Centers, Michael Cartwright, spoke to Team 10 investigator Adam Racusin by phone. Cartwright said he disagrees with the verdict. He believes Reyna's treatment location was appropriate. A spokesperson for American Addiction Centers directed 10News to a Yahoo Finance article on the technological advancements being implemented in its treatment centers. While Reyna's case is extreme, it's not the first time the company has faced criticism.10News’ sister station in Tampa, Fla., exposed questionable practices with the company's River Oaks Treatment facility. WFTS reported the facility's “former transportation director Mike Isom says staff was often unprepared to deal with mental health issues."  Crisis in CaliforniaAccording to the California Opioid Overdose Surveillance Dashboard, 2,031 people died of an opioid overdose in 2016 in California. Of those deaths, 251 occurred in San Diego County.With the opioid epidemic reaching crisis level, addiction treatment centers are in high demand.However, in California, there's concern the lack of supply to meet that demand has allowed for some to take advantage of people in need.According to information provided by the California Department of Health Care Services, in the 2016-17 fiscal year, there were 540 complaints against addiction treatment centers statewide. That's up from years past.There were also 36 people who died while participating in addiction rehab facilities statewide in 2017-18.Experts tell 10News there are also more people checking in to treatment facilities."When you look at that compared to the 300 plus thousand people who were treated in those facilities you see that is drastically lower than one percent and I will stack up our industry's results with any hospital system in California,” said Stampp Corbin with the Addiction Treatment Advocacy Coalition.Corbin said there are more than 1,700 treatment facilities in California.He told 10News that because there is an opioid crisis, people need access to treatment and the vast majority of facilities are helping people and saving lives.Corbin said, just as you would check your doctor's qualifications, potential patients should ask for the information about who will be providing their treatment. He suggests asking what the treatment process is and for people to check with the California Department of Health Care Services, which tracks any adverse incident."I don't think people should be worried about treatment centers any more than they are worried about hospital systems,” Corbin said.Reyna’s attorney believes the treatment center industry is needed, but needs better enforcement."We have good regulations that if they are enforced would clean up a lot of the industry,” Lowe said. ‘The problem is right now those regulations aren't being effectively enforced." 5797

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) - Therapy dogs are tasked with healing patients who are up against diversity. But two who walk the halls of Tri-City Medical Center have their own stories of survival."I think every one of us, animal or human, has our own story. We all have our trials and tribulations. And so I think having animals that have been through some difficult times helps them relate with our patients in a much more profound way," said Aaron Byzak, Chief External Affairs Officer for Tri-City Medical Center.Two veterans of the Pet Therapy Program are Prince the poodle and Calamity Jane the golden retriever, one a cancer survivor and the other a trauma survivor. "She's a very strong, strong, little pup, she's got a mind of her own," said Shar Pauley, who rescued Calamity Jane. "And she tells me which rooms she'd like to visit. Sometimes she'll walk down that hallway and then she'll stop and say I think this person needs a visit." The program has been comforting patients for over 20 years now."He's had nine lives, and I think part of his motivation for giving back is he just loves to work, and he loves people," said Mary Gleisberg, Prince's owner. The dogs must go through a rigorous process to earn their badge and must receive a bath before walking their rounds in the hospital. 1304

OROVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A 72-year-old man found dead in a vehicle and two other people discovered on a roadway were among the latest victims of the deadliest wildfire in California this year. The Butte County sheriff's office said DNA testing was used to positively identify 10 of 15 people killed last week in the North Complex fire burning northeast of San Francisco. The victims included three people whose bodies were found in or near a burned vehicle. Gov. Gavin Newsom said more than 17,000 firefighters are battling some 25 major fires that were sparked in the past month. The death toll stands at 25 with more than 38,000 people under evacuation statewide. 672

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. — A Michigan judge has ruled a 15-year-old girl will stay in a juvenile detention center for violating probation after not completing online coursework.Grace had gotten into legal trouble last year, and as one of the conditions of her probation, she had to attend school and complete classwork, which her mother tells ProPublica her daughter was doing until the pandemic hit.ProPublica, a nonprofit publication, brought attention to Grace's story."This is a student with disabilities who was struggling with remote learning situation and ended up in detention because of that," said Jodi Cohen, a reporter with ProPublica Chicago."In school the student gets one-on-one support from teachers and is allowed extra time to complete assignments because of (ADHD) and other disabilities," Cohen said. 825

NOVATO, Calif. (AP) — One woman in her 80s tripped over another resident who had fallen on the landing in a steep stairwell. Others got disoriented, even in their own apartments, and cried out for help.At least 20 seniors with wheelchairs and walkers were essentially trapped, in the dark, in a low-income apartment complex in Northern California during a two-day power shut-off aimed at warding off wildfires.Residents of the Villas at Hamilton in Novato, north of San Francisco, say they were without guidance from their property management company or the utility behind the blackout as they faced pitch-black stairwells and hallways and elevators that shut down."We were surprised by how dark it was," said Pamela Zuzak, 70, who uses a walker to get around. "There was nothing, nothing lit. It was like going into a darkroom closet, pitch black, you couldn't see in front of you."Pacific Gas & Electric Co. shut off power to more than 2 million people over the weekend to prevent its equipment from sparking fires amid hot, dry gusts. It was just one of four pre-emptive rounds of shut-offs imposed by the utility this month.By PG&E's estimate, more than 900,000 people were without power Wednesday, some of them since Saturday, while crews battled fires in Northern and Southern California.The outages turned urban highways dark and blackened shopping malls once glittering with light. People stocked up on batteries, water and gas and lamented the spoiled food in refrigerators.But the blackouts are more challenging for older and disabled residents who lack the transportation and money to rush out for ice and groceries, said John Geoghegan, head of the Hamilton Tenant Association.He said about a third of the Villas' 140 residents are too old, sick or cognitively impaired to care for themselves during an extended outage. He alleges the property management company VPM "abandoned" its tenants.Geoghegan came home Saturday night to find residents milling in the parking lots, some near panic. "Some expected they would be communicated with, but they weren't hearing from anybody," he said.VPM Management of Irvine, landlord Affordable Housing Access of Newport Beach, and the on-site manager did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.Elected officials and PG&E customers have complained bitterly over the utility's lack of communication and inability to provide real-time estimates of when power would be back on.Marie Hoch, president of the Hamilton Field of Marin Owners Association, which does not include the Villas, got a call Monday. She visited the three buildings that make up the complex and found apartments without heat and electric stoves that did not work."I thought it was particularly upsetting that they knew the power outage was coming," she said of management.Zuzak didn't leave her floor until after Monday night, when power was restored. She spent the two days ping ponging from one end to the other, checking on neighbors.Her friend Patti Zahnow, 77, who also uses a walker, says she was too frightened to leave her apartment."It was really dark. They put a flood light up that wasn't working," she said. "They should have a flood light that works."Residents said emergency lighting came on in the windowless hallways but lasted for about 12 hours, not nearly long enough for an extended outage. Battery-operated front doors to the buildings that are usually locked became unlocked during the outage."It's pretty disconcerting for the seniors who were fairly unprepared or have difficulty orienting at nighttime," said Maureen Wagner, 64, who serves as a caregiver for her sister, who lives at the Villas.Resident Helen Wagar, who is in her 80s, was returning to her third-floor apartment from walking her dog, Pixie. She was climbing the stairs, in the dark, when she tripped over another woman who had fallen on a landing.Wagar's knee is swollen. She never found out the identity of the woman."It was black as pitch in that stairwell," she said. "I never did see the girl at all."____Associated Press writer Stefanie Dazio in Los Angeles contributed to this report. 4141
