For years i have wanted to get hold of my file. i'm sure it must be 3" thick. i remember once i even got Mr. Kelleher to agree to give me my file if and when i ever graduated. He shook my hand and told me when i graduated he would give it to me. This turned out to be just another lie. Maybe all the files have been destroyed but i was readin' on some thread somewhere how someone got a hold of their file. i asked my therapist if she could get a hold of it for me and she told me that i would be better off requestin' it myself. i was in the springfield, VA program, which is now closed(praise jah) so who would i contact in order to request my file ??
Peace.

Dude, the place is closed...gone...not here anymore. You have a better chance of seeing God than "your file."

Send the dfaf a letter asking for your medical records. Send it certified. That's what I did.

Cool, thanx, i'll try that. :smile:

Im convinced the files were all destroyed
-
Linchpin, what convinces you that all the files were destroyed ?? Have you tried to get a hold of yours' ?? Did your ex-staff friend tell you that they were all destroyed ?? Apparently some people have gotten a hold of their files from dfaf.

I posted a good while ago about this.
Clinical files (yah va actually considered str8 a clinic) are required by law in va to be held for the duration of treatment +5 years. Afterward....well, your guess is as good as mine as there is no mandate to destroy clinical files by law in VA; which means the clinic is not required to do it but 99.99% do it anyway because they don?t want to be burdened with the storage liability.
So what did str8 va (Springfield) do with your records? Ha ha ha...They fucking left them in the mezzanine (where we staff members used to go and smoke). I am not kidding about this as myself and another person went in the building thru the giant hole in the wall and went up into where the historical records were at (we were looking for his old records and did not find them). They had taken most of them -when I was on staff I saw the historical records files - there were a whole lot of them probably a couple of hundred boxes. What was left were old records from 85, 84, etc and the old homes assignments and other paperwork MI's, Phase Logs, Homes, Progress reports and so on.
It really didn't matter to me cuz I had taken my records and some other peoples who had asked me to do so and I gave them to the rightful owners along with the intake cassette, and anything else I felt was relevant.
So if you are looking for your old records you will not find them - not a chance in hell. None of that stuff was termed Clinical Confidential or subject to Federal Privacy Act. Pretty much you and I were never at str8 and there is almost no evidence of it.

i'm not even quite sure why i am so interested. On one hand there is some or alot of clinical information which is my personal property, on the other hand that file represents somethin' to me.

I spoke with some of the lawyers who took on straight and was told that they were sort of set up like cell organizations and that when each individual center was shut down they 'got rid of their files' and so I was s.o.l. cause I couldn't prove anything.
-
Like I said previously...the place is closed...gone...not here anymore. There is no "file" to find or retrieve. The only file left is your memory.
Granted it would be a pretty cool exprience to go back in time and look through your file, but it ain't happening. That Drug Free America Foundation, Inc. thing (recent post) is a bunch of poo.

In 1992 I worked at a rehab called FirStep, in Carrolton, TX. The founder of FirStep had been a prior executive staff member at Dallas Straight, after it had moved to Las Colinas. He was not on staff during my program, and FirStep began after Dallas Straight had been shut down.
There was a back room in this place that had some of the client files from Dallas Straight. But this was not a complete collection. My file, for instance was not there. When I had inquired about why he had the files, etc., I was told that it was all confidential information since they were not clients of FirStep. I, still being very programmed, obeyed mindlessly. FirStep was not open for very long.
Heath Dunkin worked there, I think he was there when FirStep closed. Also was a man by the name of Wes Kitchens, who I later worked with at Sundown Ranch in Canton, TX. It seems like Wes had said he had boxes of stuff, not sure whether it was stuff from Straight or FirStep, and I would have no idea how to get in touch with any of these people.

I would love to see my intake picture...I was wearing an Iron Maiden tee shirt and had long curly hair...
When I was being restrained they stuck the pic in front of me to bring up "feelings"...all it did was make me want to hear some Maiden!!!!
I started singing "Run to the Hills...run for you lives!!!"

You'll never get your records, unless by chance. When I asked DFAF for mine, I was told they had all been destroyed. Then Sammie got some ink on foxnews.com by way of Radley Balko. Suddenly, someone called up his boss threatening to use her Straight record to prove she was lying (as if anything those brainwashed teenagers may have written in there could constitute proof of anything)
Fact is, the people who may or may not own those records will lie, cheat, steal and possibly murder to protect their interests.
When we are pleading with foreign governments to stop the flow of cocaine, it is the height of hypocrisy for the US to export tobacco. Years from now, our nation will look back on this application of free trade policy and find it scandalous.

In Massachusetts, the program is required to inform the state of the storage facility that the files will be stored at when it closes.
May be the same in Virginia. In fact, I think my file is in Virginia somewhere.

lol, I had devils locks and those bastards shaved my head and Lael C. took my clothes when she commenced. I would really like to get my file too, medical records have to be maintained for 30 years! (federal law) I wonder if it is possible that they archived the files I just don't see how this could be legal.............I had to take medical law and ethics in college......

Why worry about your old files when you can get a brand-new file by signing in to SIBS!!!!!
