They promised free rehab in California. We investigated what happened next.

By the time I walked up to Integrity Recovery Center’s front door, I’d been trying to get a hold of the owners for months. Integrity’s website described the treatment facility as a “healing sanctuary” and showed photographs of a gleaming white mansion with a pool in the Los Angeles foothills.
