Ben Brafman, the head of the Academy for Addiction Professionals was featured in the latest issue of the online newsletter “Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Weekly.” As a pioneer in gender specific treatment and a leader in men’s addiction issues, Ben’s expertise has been sought far and wide. In this month’s issue, Ben discussed the hurdles associated with starting a treatment facility in the saturated South Florida market. He also offers some insight into how the economy has affected payment structures and what a facility needs to do to stay afloat in today’s harsh cash pay environment.

We can see that the addiction treatment landscape is changing all around us and it is imperative that we adapt to make sure that our centers remain relevant. It is for this reason that we suggest that all addiction counselors, and those wishing to become counselors, take the time to read trade magazines and news and stay abreast of the ever-changing industry in which we work.
