Title: AARC Q & F IV
Post by: ajax13 on February 07, 2009, 01:50:10 PM
"The AARC treatment philosophy is based on the belief that addiction is a brain disease. Chemical dependence is not the result of a bad habit, mental illness, lack of willpower, or stupidity."

If AARC is treating a brain disease, are they not providing medical treatment?  If they are providing medical treatment, do they not require a license?  Since the Wiz is a phys ed teacher and school guidance counselor, what could ever possess him to believe that he is able to treat a disease?  Better yet, what convinced Dr. Dookie et al. to put this person in charge of a facility treating a brain disease?
