"30 Days Is Meaningless" — Therapist on Why 18 Rehabs Couldn't Fix Nick Reiner

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why Nick Reiner cycled through 18-plus rehab facilities over 30 years without ever getting the treatment he actually needed.

Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for someone with Nick's history. Alexis Haines said he "belonged in a hospital, not residential treatment." The Reiners paid for the best dual-diagnosis facilities money could buy. None of it worked.

Shavaun breaks down why the treatment model is broken, why patient autonomy laws let Nick walk out before psychiatric care could begin, and what "permanent custodial care" actually means for someone with schizoaffective disorder. The system failed. Here's how.
