You don't get sober at Sober Homes

Andy Amoroso, who sits on the Palm Beach County League of Cities, told NPR that because some 75 percent of those coming to Florida for treatment are not from the state, loved ones should beware.

"My message would be, stop sending your children and your loved ones to South Florida because we're sending them back in body bags," Amoroso said.

Read about the Sober Homes and the "sobering" experience by one gal who went from flophouse to flophouse. Sick people come here with all good intent to get off their addictions just to be scammed.

It has been reported to me that a new sober home will be on Lake Osborne Drive about two blocks from where I live. The owner has been renovating for months. I certainly hope this is not true as it will be within one/half block of a school bus stop.
