Description
Summary:After escaping the ravages of addiction to alcohol and heroin, Mitch and Kevin are now business owners faced with an impossible decision: whether to save their addiction recovery treatment center by engaging in risky business practices, or to let the firm fail, turning vulnerable patients out onto the street. The mission of their treatment center, Greener Pastures, is to provide quality addiction recovery and education services to the most economically vulnerable members of society. As it becomes apparent that Greener Pastures is not financially sustainable, the founders are faced with a series of difficult ethical choices that might save the firm and enable them to continue their ministry of saving lives threatened by the disease of addiction. This case is based on real-life events that were documented by the press and law enforcement in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
