NAD ships company's opiate detox and withdrawal treatment claims to the FTC.
The National Advertising Division (The National Advertising Division (NAD) is the advertising industry’s self-regulatory body administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus.) has referred internet advertising for the Opiate Freedom Center to the FTC after the company failed to provide any evidence to support claims that its at-home treatments help people in the midst of opiate detox and withdrawal, setting them on the path to becoming drug-free.
Challenged claims included:
