I was perusing the website for Fanlight Productions, and found a few interesting facts. Fanlight will sell you, for $199, a copy of Recovering Krystal. You can rent it for $60 for a day, or $120 for a week. But what is really interesting is the description of the video:
"Under the leadership of psychiatrist Dean Vause, AARC works with troubled teens and their families..."
Apparently, the great Dodgeball Master is also a psychiatrist. This fact will come as a great surprise, I am sure, to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
Here is a real knee-slapper:"During treatment, the teens are not permitted to live at home or to communicate with their families until all members have been involved in the recovery process. Instead, they are accommodated by the families of other students who have completed the program."
This will be news to all of the oldcomers who were taking home newcomers. You guys had already completed the program, you just didn't know it.
It gets better:"Though structured on a minimum security model, the program nonetheless entails tracking the activities and whereabouts of the teens at all times."
So... it is a jail? No, a treatment centre? No, sorry, a charity registered under the Societies Act?
So confusing!

Yeah, interesting considering they say they are only a DAY treatment centre, and the kids go "home" at 5:15pm.
Home
What a concept. The client can't go home at the beginning of treatment because of the family dynamics. But after a few months of bi-weekly open meetings listening to how bad drugs are and how much our kids need to stay in treatment, then it's not only ok for the client to come to the SAME home but it's also ok to drag a bunch of newcomers too.
How can the family dynamics change with no "real" conversation between the client and the rest of the family?
And
If the client is not "healthy" enough to go back to school, how are they "healthy" enough to care for 4 new clients who are sicker than they are?
