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

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California prosecutor says she's reopening an investigation into the killing of a 22-year-old Black man at a train station by a transit officer 11 years ago. Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a Bay Area Rapid Transit officer on New Year's Day in 2009. The officer was charged with murder, found guilty of a lesser charge, and served 11 months in jail. Grant's family wants charges to be filed against another officer who pinned Grant down with a knee to his neck in a manner similar to that used in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The district attorney announced the investigation Monday. 641

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) - The Oceanside City Council just gave preliminary approval to a plan that would use city development fees as a way to provide homebuyers help with their down payments.City Councilman Christopher Rodriguez presented the idea, which he calls the Affordable Market Purchase Program (AMPP)."It's a win-win," says Rodriguez. "And it's the fastest way, in my opinion, to creating home ownership."Under the plan, people could borrow up to 20% of the home's asking price from the city. But, it can only be used on single-family homes up to 0,000 or multi-family units (townhomes and condos) up to 0,000. The money comes from the city's "In-Lieu" fund. That money is a fee developers pay to the city when they don't include the required affordable housing in their project.Rodriguez says the city currently has about .7 million in the fund."Every million dollars could help 14 people with down payments," he explains.To qualify, people need to be first-time homebuyers who make less than 115% of the county's median income. That's around ,000 a year for a family of 4.They have to have been either living in Oceanside for a year or working in Oceanside for six months.The program is also available to veterans or seniors who are over 65 or over 55 but currently living in an Oceanside mobile home park.Applicants must also chip in at least 1% of the home's value as their down payment.Rodriguez says this program can help people who otherwise wouldn't be able to buy a home because they can't save for a large enough down payment."A family that is struggling to make ends meet and pay rent and unable to save, now they're able to use a program like this," he says.The loan from the city would be repaid when the home is sold again, or when there's a title transfer, first mortgage repayment, or in 30 years.In addition to the full cost of the loan, the city would also get 25% of the appreciated value of the home. That money would go back into the fund to help more people."It's unique, it's relevant, and our community desperately needs opportunity," says Rodriguez.He adds that this could help businesses retain employees. Right now, many people who work in Oceanside live 20-30 minutes away. Rodriguez says getting them to buy homes in town would make them more effective as employees and more likely to stay in their current jobs.The City Council gave the plan a preliminary approval at Wednesday night's meeting. Now city staff will draft a formal proposal. Rodriguez hopes to present it to the full Council in June. 2558

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. (KGTV) - When an earthquake strikes seconds of warning can save lives. That's why, for decades, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has been working with partners to create a warning system to do just that. "Eventually we would like to have something like an Amber Alert where you would get a text message that says shaking is about to occur in your area in a few seconds," said Alex Cadiao, a USGS Field Engineer.He's part of a small team which travels to remote parts of the state to install earthquake sensors into the ground. They provided 10News exclusive access to the region's newest sensor in Orange County. RELATED: 'ShakeAlert' message buzzes San Diego County phones"Ultimately we just want a grid across the whole state," said Christopher Bruton, Research Engineer at Caltech's Seismological Laboratory. There are 45 sensors throughout San Diego County, and dozens more are planned for the rest of Southern California. "The more sensors we have, the better the data, the greater coverage we have and better the quality, and faster response time of these stations," said Cadiao. The sensors work by detecting the initial, less-destructive waves of an earthquake, alerting people shaking is coming and to take cover.Seconds of warning can be critical for surgeons in the operating room, halting trains, or shutting off gas lines. The City of Los Angeles currently has the ShakeAlert app available to people in the city; the hope is that technology will eventually work statewide. "I get a lot of gratification knowing one day this will help save a lot of lives," said Cadiao. The engineers say it will likely be a few more years until all of Southern California will get ShakeAlert warnings on their cell phones. It's being tested in small groups, but they want to make sure the technology is reliable before making it available to everyone. 1888

Officials broke ground on a new national memorial in Washington, D.C. Thursday to honor the millions of Americans who served in World War I, 100 years after the United States got involved in the conflict.The memorial will be built in Pershing Park, a small plaza about a block away from the White House.More than 100,000 Americans died in the war and more than 200,000 others were injured. Now, nearly 100 later, there are no living survivors from World War I."It's a national tragedy that the millions of veterans of the Great War have not been memorialized in our capitol,” said Terry Hamby, commissioner of the United States World War I Centennial Commission."There was so much sacrifice in World War I, it's time for America to build a memorial to the forgotten war." Hamby’s grandfather fought in the war. His uncle died in it.“It means a lot to me, personally, because when you have a memorial and you can go stand in front of it, the emotion burst forth,” Hamby said.In Washington, D.C., other American wars are honored with a national memorial, including World War II, as well as the wars in Korea and Vietnam.The Centennial Commission was established by Congress in 2013 and authorized to create a new national-level memorial in the nation's capital, to honor the men and women who served.Denise Rohan, National Commander of the American Legion, expressed support for the memorial and the veterans it will honor.“Their legacy is one of freedom and heroism. Some paid the ultimate price. The American Legion supports this overdue memorial because the world must forever remember the story of those men and women who liberated a continent. Sadly, it was not the war to end all wars. But, by studying their legacy, tyrants should be on notice that America will not allow evil to go unchallenged,” Rohan said.The goal is to build the memorial by Veterans Day of 2018, which would mark the 100th anniversary of the agreement that brought an end to the war.While this will become the first national monument to World War I in Washington, D.C., there is a National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, dedicated to honoring those who served in the war. 2218
