Rich Kid Rehab vs Poor People's Rehab

Tim contrasts luxury celebrity rehabs like Promises in Malibu (horse therapy, beach yoga) with what happens to poor addicts who get kicked out once insurance runs out, and connects it to his cousin's relapses.
- Rich people hire sober companions to sit next to them on flights and prevent them from ordering drinks.
- Poor people either skip rehab entirely or get kicked out once insurance runs dry with minimal support.
- Luxury rehab programs like horse riding in Malibu don't address the underlying addiction issues.
- Rich rehab is distraction disguised as treatment: beach yoga, sunset therapy, five-star chefs, and legal drugs.
- Addicts leave expensive rehab and relapse within a week, ending up back in clubs using again.
- His cousin went to Delray rehab programs, got some clean time, then relapsed—the disease is insidious and lifelong.
- Tim respects his cousin for trying despite how hard the fight against addiction actually is.
