Is “Owning” the patent on the treatment, while claiming to want to help people ethical?
The Prometa Treatment Program is intellectual property, and that is something that companies develop and commercialize all the time in the medical field. It is routine in the US for various treatments to be “proprietized.” There is even an insulin dosage that is technically proprietized. We feel this is more accepted, because people see diabetes as a “legitimate” disease, and insulin is a long established treatment. In time, we hope more people will view addiction as the disease that is, as well.
