The dark side of private rehab | Full episode | the fifth estate

Video Description

High-priced and unregulated private rehab facilities promote themselves with slick websites promising idyllic settings and medical supervision. We find that's often far from reality. CORRECTION (Nov. 21, 2025): An earlier version of this documentary said that Emily Bogen’s father died in a boating accident. In fact, newly acquired information has revealed Andrew Bogen drowned at a U.S. Department of the Navy-managed swimming facility in Japan. This video has been edited to remove those references.
