Schizophrenia, Addiction, and a $70K Rehab: The Reiner Murders Explained

Schizophrenia, Addiction, and a $70K Rehab: The Reiner Murders Explained

Nick Reiner had access to the best psychiatric care money could buy. A $70,000-a-month facility. Doctors managing his schizophrenia. Parents who never gave up on him. And he allegedly threw it all away — choosing drugs over medication, manipulation over honesty, and ultimately violence over everything his family tried to give him.

For years, Rob Reiner publicly criticized the treatment industry. He said the experts were wrong. He said he should have listened to Nick instead of the people with diplomas on the wall. But here's the hard truth: the professionals were right. Nick was the one lying. Nick was the one refusing to comply. Nick was the one whose choices made treatment impossible — not because the system failed, but because he wouldn't let it work.

Sources say his medication was changed weeks before the killings. But medication only works if you take it. Sobriety only works if you stay sober. Nick didn't. According to sources, his drug use was worsening his schizophrenia. He was "out of his head" — not because doctors failed him, but because he kept making the choices that put him there.

Michele Reiner told friends, "We've tried everything." She had. They both had. But you can't save someone who won't stop sabotaging their own recovery. And you can't protect yourself from someone who's been manipulating you for seventeen years.

Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder. Sources say an insanity defense is coming. But insanity doesn't erase the years of choices that led to that bedroom in Brentwood.
