Ya bud that makes since. First off Cirque is a drug treatment facility. They admit people with only drug and alcohol problems....they will help with the anorexia and maybe fly in some specialist, but their main focus is drugs and alcohol. Cirque is an awesome place to get sober.

Good.  I'm glad.

I don't think I've heard anything negative about cirque.

You know, there are good reasons for residential treatment in specific circumstances.  Addiction (as opposed to casual use) is one of those good reasons.

There are good residential treatment facilities that treat kids with all the respect and human decency adults are entitled to and receive.

I don't think anybody wants to shut down all rehab and all residential treatment.

I just want (and I think most of the rest of the people here want) for the rules to be tightened so that people who don't need residential treatment don't get warehoused there for the convenience of their parents and stepparents, and so that people who do need residential treatment get quality care.

I talked to a program employee over the weekend (not cirque, somewhere else, met her socially, pure coincidence) and one of the problems she's run into is occasionally having counseling staff come on and get the mistaken impression they're a bootcamp and she's had to have them fired (she's on the therapy end), and she's had to do PTSD care on some of the kids who come into her facility from the "bad" programs that are fairly notorious on the internet.

While it's true that just because some of the survivors of bad programs here have had a bad experience, it doesn't make all residential treatment bad, it's also true that you having had a good rehab experience doesn't mean that there aren't lots of bad places out there.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Let's separate the good from the bad so that the kids that need outpatient family therapy get it, and the kids that need residential care all get good care.

I remember reading about her in the past when the problems began, she had about 5 different therapists taking care of her then, I think those where her 5 worst problems so it's little wonder she is where she is now.

   As long as she has money to pay these people her problems will never end. That's the real tragedy.
