Failed Rehab

In a discussion with Eric Cressey, Tim Ferriss addressed some root causes of failed rehab. Cressey explained that failures in rehabilitation often stem from incomplete intake processes and inadequate supervision. Patients might perform exercises incorrectly due to improper guidance or lack of supervision. Furthermore, some systemic issues related to insurance-driven physical therapy can prevent patients from receiving the necessary hands-on attention and correct interventions. Thus, it isn't always the patients who "fail" rehab, but rather the rehab systems that fail them due to these flaws 1.

In another conversation, Mike Novogratz highlighted rehabilitative failures within the justice system. He detailed how the prison system in the US is largely punitive rather than rehabilitative, stripping individuals of their dignity and exacerbating their trauma. This approach starkly contrasts with more effective, humane systems in countries like Norway and Germany, emphasizing that the system often perpetuates cycles of trauma and does little to rehabilitate those it incarcerates 2.
