here today Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 This isn't exactly about therapy per se, although the programs label themselves therapeutic. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57442175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve B Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Any kind of isolating environment without independent monitoring should be a major warning flag that abusive treatment is a likely possibility. If there were more effective solutions and better social support for troubled individuals, these kinds of shady businesses wouldn't exist.

disequilibrium1 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Blow-back around these camps, articles, message boards, even movies has existed for a while. More recently a parent told me she had to play unnecessary games in her son's urban-based substance-abuse program. Fear works only temporarily. I (feel I) improved mainly through finding a focus and sense of purpose. I suspect troubled teens need the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapy was more an impediment to living a worthwhile life than a help in that direstion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
