is there any relationship between elan and synanon
« on: September 05, 2005, 03:14:00 AM »
i was in str8 85-87 and i am wonderin' if Elan was/is an offshoot of Synanon.  Where was/is Elan located ?? Did any former clients or staff from Elan ever go on staff at the Seed in Fla ??  Any information anyone can provide regarding the relationships between Synanon and Elan and Elan and the Seed would be very valuable to me.

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

Elan was started in 1970 in Maine by Joe Ricci, Dr. Gerald Davidson and some third partner who was quickly kicked out of the partnership for being a crook (not that Joe wasn't).  Elan has always been in Maine, but the main complex has been in Poland Spring since 73 or 74.  

Elan was an offshoot of Daytop.  But all of those programs are an indirect offshoot of Synanon.

And what happened to the founder of Synanon, dare you ask?  He got life for putting a rattlesnake in some politician's mailbox.  The guy got bit but survived.
