Anybody got the low down on Phoenix House?

[Ursus]

I second Froderick's sentiments!  I've lived through all of that which "Guest" describes.  Sad, really, that our society relies so heavily on such obfuscation and psychological strong-arming.

Here's an interesting update. My ex left the last rehab he was working at (because he didn't like to deal with the fact that most of the people there didn't want to be, and were ordered by the courts, and would confront him and give him shit about being forced into a program.)

As a result, he's looking for work. Lo and behold, he posts in his livejournal today that he has started getting repeated calls from Phoenix House. (He applied before he got  his last job, and they turned him down.) He is eager to reapply.

I told him to watch his ass.

In some ways, I hope he gets the job. Then I can pump him for information.
