This is a joke. Even the most mentally disturbed kids show great improvement and are normally stabilized enough for outpatient treatment after TWO WEEKS of inpatient treatment.
Lady, these people are hucksters and snakeoil salesmen. Wake up to the facts: BM DOESN'T WORK.

I'm allowed to talk to him once a week for ten minutes, but his phone calls are monitored on their end. Negative talk at the program is considered manipulation. Suicidal statements are punished with restriction...again considered manipulation. Ridgecreek is used as minor infractions mount up. They call it grounding. I call it boot camp. My child complained that he wasn't adequately clothed to keep him warm against the cold at night. I feel like my child is sometimes being punished for the symptoms of his psychological problems. I feel frustrated with the whole process. I thought I was sending him to utopia where he could work on his self esteem and get help for his underlying problems but instead it looks like a gulag. I sent him there because I wanted him to be safe, but I'm afraid I have made a terrible mistake.

The information on this forum is not reliable. Do not be alarmed. Your child is the best source of information. Also, post on http://www.strugglingteens.com in the program section for information from other parents who CURRENTLY or RECENTLY have kids at HLA. The people on this board are living in the past- and a fantast past, at that.

Thought you were sending him to "utopia" huh? Who put that idea in your head? Lemme guess, Kathleen ("Little Stalin") the marketing director?
Did she happen to tell you that HLA's recidivism rate is worse than that of the prison system? How about that "working on self esteem" means a one-size-fits-all behavior modification (punishment) level system? I didn't think so. :roll:
