The CEO Athena discretely made false accusations to her patient about a family member being on drugs because she felt the family member seemed withdrawn during a short interaction. Instead of talking to the family member about her concerns. She continued to push the matter referring to the family member as tweaked out behind close doors to her patient while asking the patient to please keep it hush. The patient explained it was to painful to carry this kind of secret. All this resulted in severe emotional and mental instability causing the patient relapse. At that point the family was finally notified of Athena's accusations so a drug test was taken proving Athena to be incorrect yet she continued to push the matter saying the drug test could have been altered some how while completely dismissing the fact that her actions/approach resulted in destroying a patients sober time. She repeatedly continued to push the family member into admitting there was drug use when there wasn't any making the relationship for everyone involved to be harmful to the patients sobriety. Although family members can play important rolls in the process of recovery the patients health, well being, and state of mind should always the biggest priority.
