But people who worked with Spofford and witnessed his behavior say he should not be in the addiction treatment field.
. Costs vary widely throughout the industry, but a single day of inpatient treatment can cost several hundred dollars. NHPR reviewed text messages and internal documents that confirm Elizabeth received her 2017 treatment at no cost. “What makes this guy think this type of behavior is OK with a girl this vulnerable?” Downey said. The CEO of a treatment center, he added, is “supposed to have boundaries.”
"A CEO of a treatment center I left 24 hours ago should not be sending me pictures of his dick. That’s just integrity 101, right?"She feared Spofford might tarnish her reputation or even cause her to lose her bed in the sober home where she moved after treatment. So she said that while she didn’t encourage Spofford’s advances and never met up with him, she didn’t explicitly tell him to stop sending the messages.
Employee A agreed to tell her story to NHPR on the condition that her name be withheld because she fears Spofford will retaliate against her. She began working at GRC in an entry-level role at one of the company’s sober homes, and she said she loved her job. Things started to “get weird,” she said, once she was promoted to a supervisor position.
“A lot of people that I worked with put Eric on this pedestal of: ‘Eric is the greatest man in recovery.' I was not about to be the person to say otherwise.”In the midst of this, Spofford asked Employee A for a one-on-one meeting in his office. She recalls that when she arrived, he closed the door, started kissing her, and then got a condom from his desk drawer. She didn’t know how to react.
