I am a former patient of cra and most if not all of the things posted on this site are extremely exagerated and or false. They were most likely formed in the minds of teens in need of help who took there confusion out on the program they were sent too.... It offends me that parents like yourselves belive this without any evidence besides hear say BS. Check your sources people
I too attened CRA, when you did i'm pretty sure, and i do agree that a lot of things said about CRA are pretty exagerated. It is true that the place sometimes sucked and they did strange things like "basement" and "observation" but in my experience, no one was ever beaten or molested. and i will ad that we had a pretty good rapour with the "questionable" staff.
About Dr. Macbeth and Lu Vaughn, they most certainly used scare tactics, avoidance, and manipulation or at least tried to. Most of us had already been through these programs before. While i won't say there weren't sincere moments, most of us were tryin to get outta there.
