NWI Times and PFC are reporting that PFC has a licensed facility at 425 Sand Creek Chesterton IN. Well well, that is a community type center full of all sorts of medical professionals and restaraunts, etc... The bottom line is that PFC is not running a licensed facility there in NW Indiana. This has been confirmed by the Indiana Dept. of Mental Health which does license their Indianapolis location. Nobody needs a license to assess or refer kids to drug treatment programs in Indiana. I would call that false advertising. To top it off, people cannot comment in the comment section of that article. HMMMM!!!! Why is that Terri? Did you buy a locked article? Wouldn't want parents to do research on your treatment modality?

To me, it looks like a rather desperate attempt by the program to harangue more desperate parents into thinking that this place is the next best thing to sliced bread, all the while knowing full well that even that recent meeting with the President of the USA won't buy this false advertising laden story much credibility...

I thought I might mention that NO, I am not related to this reporter dude. Some folks here might get curious though, as he does have a unique name, LOL Pure coincidence...

It seems like almost none of my comments ever make it onto an article at the NWI. I tried to post one here so we shall see. To RG, try to post again, I think you may be able to do so, at least it looks this way to me.

Ok, great. They actually posted my comment but now there is a big disclaimer right above my comment reminding readers that comments are not necessarily to be taken seriously, basically. I don't remember that disclaimer before, is that something new?

DP,
Yeah, sick.
Thanks for the corroboration, I thought it was new.
At least they allowed my comment this time. Usually it never gets posted.
If they are in bed together, they should sleep in all day, every day and quit work.
