Drug-dependent Ameri is committed to an NPO rehabilitation center called Independence Support. The facility’s director is notoriously rough but praised for his results. Ameri throws a fit, attempts to escape, and refuses even to pretend she wants to change, so he announces the start of her strict rehabilitation program: morning meditation, group counseling, and total abstinence. His private nighttime “mental support,” however, becomes sexual exploitation. Whispering that he will satisfy her cravings, he uses words and physical contact to replace her desire for drugs with another compulsion, repeatedly insisting that the pleasure he forces on her is treatment.
