In this episode of the Good Counsel Podcast, we sit down with former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to talk about his groundbreaking work leading the Sober Homes Task Force and the eye-opening realities behind Florida’s once deeply corrupt addiction treatment industry.
We explore how the “Florida Shuffle” turned recovery into a pipeline of exploitation, how unscrupulous operators preyed on the most vulnerable, and how a team of dedicated professionals came together to clean up an industry that many thought was beyond repair.
Dave walks us through what it took to bring the bad actors to justice, how loopholes in federal law were weaponized against people in recovery, and how Palm Beach County became a national model for ethical treatment and reform.
We also talk about his new book Fighting the Florida Shuffle, which serves as a powerful call to action for policymakers, communities, and anyone impacted by addiction.
Whether you work in treatment, have a loved one in recovery, or just care about accountability and justice—this is a conversation that will stay with you.
