As a sort of corollary to the PHP process is the whole addictionologist issue, that also illustrates the “follow the money” paradigm.
If your MLB (or local law enforcement) comes down on you for “drug” issues, an addictionologist will review your charts/case and give paid testimony before the board (or in court). Then you may be directed for treatment in a PHP facility wherein the addictionologist renders care and/or evaluation (for a fee). And then you may be directed to a reeducation program (given--for money--by the addictionologist) before you can practice again. Of course, much of the literature utilized by the drug rehabilitation program is authored or coauthored by … the addictionologist.
