@I call shenanigans I can't quote you atm.
Her therapists absolutely were accredited professionals. I know you haven't been around all that long and I know Chantal has a track record of believing whatever nonsense she reads online, but as I said, she staged a mental health crisis to jump the queue to get into an eating disorder clinic. She was accepted into an out-patient program at a local hospital, with access to every conceivable professional -- including weight loss surgeons, if she'd been determined to be an appropriate candidate -- therapy (individual and group) dieticians, psychiatrists (who subscribed her meds, which she stopped taking after about a week) rehabilitative physiologists to help her with her mobility, etc.
There was a months-long waiting list for this program, and she kept going to the emergency room with "mental breakdowns" over eating too much cheese (not a joke) and other nonsense until she got a referral to be admitted to the program immediately.
She threw that opportunity away.
I don't know how it works in Australia, but in Canada, dropping out of a mental health program like that is a huge no-no if you ever want to receive associated care in the future. That's in addition to her other, "I forgot to take my blood thinners for two months, tee hee!" and "I didn't feel like getting up when the wound care nurse came by my house to change my dressing, so I guess that abscess is gonna have to heal without her, haha!" bullshit she pulls on a weekly basis.
As for her family forcing her into rehab, dream on. Her family give precisely zero shits about her -- and rightly so. No one has ever lifted a finger to force her into rehab/therapy for her multitude of other issues. Not since she was a teenager, at least, which brings up another point: Even if her family did care about her, there's literally nothing they can do to force the issue. She doesn't care if she hurts them, which is really the only leverage a family has when trying to push an addict of any sort into rehab. Edit: Outside of finances, of course. But as hard as it is to believe, Chantal does appear to be financially independent, so unless that changes, there's neither a carrot nor a stick here.
Will she be found out for her cocaine abuse? More than likely. Does it matter? Not that much, not because addiction isn't a disqualifying condition for a lot of these programs/therapies/interventions, but because the likelihood of her being in the position to receive that care in the first place was slim to none.
