I think I've seen this.  Apparently the kid was sent to a CLINICAL program - was heavy into the opiates and needed medical intervention as well.

But the parents and Dr. Phil were using a lot of the same catch phrases we've all heard, but - some of it made sense.

All drug treatment is bullshit.  I'd rather be lying in a gutter, dead :skull:  of an OD than sitting in a 12Stepcult meeting.

That's just not true. Clinical treatment can be very helpful. The 12 steps can be useful tools. We were conditioned, because of our bad experience, to hear those words and be repelled, but that doesn't mean all treatment is necessarily bad. People sometimes need help, it's a fact.

On the other hand, I will say that I don't think interventions work. People have to hit their personal bottom, and decide they need help on their own. No amount of force will ever convince a drug addict they need help. No matter how much love it is said with. The only circumstance where this is an exception, is with a spouse, but even with a spouse, you have to give them a choice. Example: "If you continue to use [insert drug of choice here] I will leave. I love you, but I can't live with you while you destroy yourself, it's up to you."

Besides how I feel about intervention and treatment...I think Dr. Phil is Satan.  I mean...he really REALLY creeps me out, that man is not right.

If I ever had to speak to him or even just meet him...I would run.  There is something inherently WRONG with that man.  I feel about him the same way I do about Sembler...only he is the Sembler of everything.  Does that make sense?

Anyhow...poopoo on Dr. Phil....yeeeechhh.

Dr. Phil:
  He spells out one of the most deadly myths about drug and alcohol addiction: The belief that a person has to "hit bottom" before turning it around and getting help. "That myth has probably killed as many people as any mistruth I have ever heard," explains Dr. Phil. "It is absolutely untrue. Because bottom may be six feet under. He's ready for help now because he's still alive, he's still using, and there's still hope to turn this kid's life around."

It's not a myth, it's the truth. Sadly, six feet under is sometimes that truth. People need to choose for themselves when they're ready to change, by suffering the consequences of their own actions. If they haven't done that, the changes they make will most likely be temporary, and not done because they really wanted it for themselves. We've all learned what trying to force someone to change can do. I don't agree with Dr. Phil.

Phil makes me sick, no doubt about it.  You gotta wonder about these people who so willingly expose the most painful secrets of their lives on national TV.  What would posess them??  

Phil and his ilk exploit them every day.  This whole 'cookie cutter' approach to therapy or counseling or whatever fucking label it's plastered with is really pathetic.  No therapist or counselor worth their salt would EVER approve such methods.  Tell us all your sob story so I can get bigger and better ratings and make bigger and better money.
