Presley Gerber had criticised traditional rehab, Alcoholics Anonymous and psychiatric medication before his death at 27, describing the recovery system as a 'trap' and accusing those involved of wanting people to remain in a cycle of treatment.
'They want you in the cycle,' Gerber said while discussing what he called 'classic rehab, AA, NA' and the established recovery process. His remarks have taken on renewed attention after the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber died on 20 September at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California. Police are investigating his death as a suspected overdose, although his official cause and manner of death remain undetermined.
