Abstract
I recently spoke to a group of addiction care providers, and they are, at best, unsettled especially with the actions (or lack of actions) of the federal and state governments. Providers cannot hire enough qualified staff to work in their programs, their costs are far exceeding their reimbursement, government seems tone death to their pleas and, in fact, seems to becoming even more overbearing, insurers are questioning all care and delaying payments and, in some instances, not even paying accurate reimbursement rates for years!
