Sometimes "abuse" is imperative when dealing with the manipulative, obstinate and often downright ornery mind of the druggie...

I disagree! A druggie WILL NOT change unless THEY want to.  And no mater how much isolation, restraint, humiliation, confrontation, sleep/food deprivation, and other forms of abuse that these places use, they will not bring about any honest change until the user is ready to change.  Abuse will only make that ol' druggie mind better at manipulating and give it all the more reason to be obstinate and ornery, give it all the more reason to feel victimized and relapse. Those in the field of teen help should teach by example, not by instilling fear, because then they only teach their abuse.

My boyfriend went to Provo Canyon School and at first I never really took to heart any of his sarcastic comments about his experience at this "institution". When he called this place a prison I brushed it off thinking he was being over zealous and dramatic. After reading some of these stories I now know why he is the way he is. He is constantly on guard, paranoid of someone coming to take him away from his family, or hurt/attack him for no reason. He has problems socially interacting with others and with looking people in the eyes. I now know why his confidence and self-esteem is so incredibly low when in fact he is truly a beautiful, amazingly compassionate person with so much potential to give to the world. I can only pray that facilities like this, that demean individuals and completely strip them of theeir human rights are not only shut down, but for those individuals who run them pay the price for what they have done to their victims.

It's true that no one will change a behavior unless they desire it. These torture therapy schools need to be closed for massive abuse of children and human rights.

To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them...

He is lucky to have someone like you who can see the truth. In time, he will be free of that nightmare.

Or maybe he won't. There are people who were in Straight who still have literal nightmares and the other problems described above fifteen or twenty years later. Sometimes when you break something, it just stays broken.

Provo Canyon School is NOT a school. My child was not only restricted of his civil rights but fell behind one whole school year in Academics because he was not taught on his school level.  My son was in fact drugged and locked in most of the time watching videotapes or climbing rocks all day.  Most of the things he did learn was how to curse and how to survive the system.

I was over-drugged at PCS.  I saw counselors pit individuals against each other and only stop it once blood was shed.   I received very little 'therapy' what so ever at Provo Canyon School and was kept in urine filled rooms, underground and did not see the light of day for 6 months of the year I was there.

I survived three programs of the same caliber of abuse. Three Springs, SUWS, and Cascade. I have first hand knowledge of such torment and abuse that so-called assistance treatment facilities offer. There true offer are lies, complete and utter lies.

Why allow our children to be tortured and at the same time be so up in arms about animals? I don't advocate abuse of either but surely one can see the problem here. I suppose since children don't vote often they are seen as disposable. We the adults have got to do better!
