Welcome,
  I did my time in Sarasota. Didn't even know there had been a Straight in SoCal till fairly recently.

I have many questions, though. Is it true that Chris Casselor was the top dog out there? Any names you can remember from executive staff, board of directors, celebrities and civic leaders who publicly endorsed the Program? Did the name Daryl Gates ever come up?

Welcome!

I was in Dallas when they closed SoCal down and transferred all the remaining clients there.  Were you there at that time?

Hi newbe....my name is Nicole & I was in Straight Yorba Linda for 4 days total then AWOLed.  To make a long story short I came back after jumping out a window from a host home.  I eventually was taken to the ER & reported Straight to the State license dept.  In June 1990 I AWOLed and by Aug 1990 Straight was ordered to shut down.  By Oct 1990 Straight illegally took the clients to Dallas.  It was all over the LA time /OC Register etc.  I have made many testimonies to Social Services.  

Do you know Bill Brown?  Please email me nicoleesther@aol.com Today I practiced as a licensed psychologist in LA.

Peace
Nicole

Your profile says psychiatrist.  
Are you a psychiatrist or psychologist.  
Big difference.

Nevermind, you refer to your profile and credentials in nearly every post you make.  
I'd rather not hear it again.

Just for the record for the one who asked I am a psychologist but I work for the Dept of Psychiatry for an HMO.

Hi Newbe,

No after 4 days of those people I had no desire to hang out with them....however, after Staight I had a job in the orange mall & a girl named Kristen came up to me....she was on level 5 then went home & screwd up....She also worked in the mall...I was very angry told her that I was shutting Straight down etc....She supported them I told me she could never do such a thing.....

By the way I treat patients & specialize with teen...utlilation people annoy me..
