Honestly I didn't even look at that... Anybody can create their own accrediation group -- and just for the record -- the WWASPS are not accrediated by that group.

Maybe you should get your facts before you lump everyone together.

I called the state licensing board, I researched them over the internet (no not their corporate site), checked the local paper archives for news stories and went on a personal visit.

I could not find one scrap of negative information on them and when I visited them I had full access and was allowed to walk the grounds un escorted.

They are a high quality organization and my child is thriving there.

Awwww, I miss Aspen Ranch and all the friends I made while I was there. Great memories, tough sometimes, but it was worth it!

I guess that's better than living with a low-quality parent.  Like the kind that sends their kid to an "organization" to be raised.

Amazing how the People who have only negatives to say always hid behind "anonymous".... anything you say is simply not worth listening to? If you really know what your talking about come forward and stand up for your convictions with a real name!

Hi -- I'm the so called low quality parent you speak of -- out from the anon... Just exactly how many kids do you have??? You speak with such authority on the subject?  How old are they??
Obviously I was not giving my son what he needed and I loved him enough to do the research and find someplace that could help us.  

Having your child in a good program for 6 months is far better than what was happening at home.  

My kid is alive, clean and sober and going to school every day.  He tells me that he is happier than he has ever been and appreciates us caring enough to get him the help he needs.

If that makes me a low quality parent then I guess I am.  I just wonder what makes you such an authority?

Come out from behind your anon and share your insightful wisdom with all of us.

Yeah, right. Any idea what happens to kids at Aspen who ask to leave?

Step 1. We came to understand that the government is powerless over people's private use of drugs and that the War on Drugs was making the government's life unmanageable.

I don't think you understood me.  My kid is not at Aspen Ranch -- I visited Aspen Ranch and I got a very bad vibe from the place.

I was hearded around and only allowed to see what they wanted me to see.  We were not allowed to go into the cafeteria where the kids were eating and to see what they were eating.

In fact when we were walking back to our car we saw a couple of kids being made to do pull ups with a Staff member watching them with a walkie talkie...

We went to take a picture of them and the guy said something into is radio and what do you know out comes our tour guide to show us to our car... I left there knowing my kid would never set foot in a place like that.

Again -- cut me some slack here.  I'm not advocating one program over another I'm just telling another Mom that my experience on a visit to Apen Rabch validated her unfortunate experience of having her son there.
