Betty Ford Center John Schwarzlose, CEO of the Betty Ford Center, says: "Joe Califano again 'calls a spade a spade' in this article. Since he served as Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Johnson, Califano has declared that until the United States deals head-on with alcoholism, drug addiction, and tobacco addiction, ...we will be unable to 'fix' our health care system. As founder and Chairman of the National Center on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, Joe has worked closely with Betty Ford and the Betty Ford Center." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joseph-a-califano-jr/the-greatest-failure-of-t_b_652562.html

Additionally, it is simply not fair to a colleague's patients if a physician who is known to be impaired is left practicing while impaired. It may be bigger than a moral or ethical obligation - it's just the right thing to do...Thank you for all you do Dr. Haroutunian

    It has been our experience that reimbursement for addiction treatment is less than sufficient. If an insurance company reimburses at all, the amount rarely exceeds $5000. There is no guarantee that your insurance company will provide reimbursement...
