"Looking through state contracts, I-Team 8 has found the company just signed an agreement with the state of Indiana to counsel kids through juvenile probation and the courts."

http://www.lawyershop.ca/regions/albert ... yndale.phpIt has never been realistic for the Synanon-derived Straight-clones such as AARC and PFC to operate solely on the basis of fees paid by parents. There simply aren't enough parents who can pay the amounts invoiced by these operations. Because the regimen at AARC is overseen entirely by amateurs, AARC could never bill Alberta Health on a per client basis, as the treatment is not provided by insured professionals. Likewise AARC could never get money via private Extended Health Insurance, again because the treatment is provided by unlicensed amateur quacks. Thus the goal has always been to obtain money in lump sums from the Government, and from charities. AARC always went to great lengths to sell itself as a behavioural modification program that reduces crime. Rather than discussing the medical status of clients, AARC's media hand-jobs always describe lurid tales of criminal behavior, never the the real symptoms that accompany drug dependence.
One never hears of AARC treating sirrhosis, pancreatitis or any other real disorders that result from long-term alcohol abuse. There is no outlining of specific methods used in AARC to treat other long-term effects of cocaine, heroin nor methamphetamine use.
AARC sells itself by claiming that bad kids won't be bad after they go to AARC. Addictions is simpy a catch-all phrase used to describe any form of behaviour considered aberrant by the parents.
AARC has been angling for years to arrange a steady flow of government money. AARC is constantly held up by AARColytes as an alternative to incarceration. The real goal is for AARC to get their hands on people in the corrections system. The inmates will be coerced into treatment, and the tax-payer will cough up the dough.
This model is already up and running in Texas.
