Our investigation found at least a dozen complaints filed against Georgia's Narconon program in the last decade, many claiming it was running an illegal housing operation. The state even denied its license once, but every single case has been dismissed with no penalty.
See what happened when we grilled the head of the Department of Community Health about it, and why he's now decided to open a new investigation, Tuesday at 5.
