son in WWASP program
wwasp dad:
hi folks,
just thought i would bring another side to all this information. my son has been at a WWASP school since 2/05, and he has been doing fantastic the last 6 months or so. before i get unloaded on, i'd like to give you a bit of background info. he was 16 1/2 years old when we sent him there. he had been a great young man up to the last 6 or 8 months before we sent him there, well i guess that's just me, he was just a typical teenager with all the problems and ups and downs that teens have. then he found the drug we call METH, and he went downhill very, very quickly. i won't go into the details because i'm sure you've all heard or read about this terrible shit. so we tried mental health pros, drug treatment, understanding and just went through all our options..all to no avail. then we heard of this program and decided to try it. it has been the best track we could have taken. was i totally sold on it right away?? hell no--but over the past year and 1/2 i can't argue with the results--does he love it there??--another hell no, who would..but he's happy with alot of the tools he's learned about and can use in everyday life--i'm still not a program moonie, but as i said before, i can't argue the results..oh, and by the way-his mouth or nose isn't in a pile of METH either---and the thing that scares him more then anything is the thought of that drug, and what would happen if he did it just once again...........
thanks for your time---wwasp dad
---------PS- - please reply with your opinion, i like to see the other side of things

Which gulag is he currently residing in? Okay, so you say he was doing fine until he was about to turn 16? Because he found the drug Meth. So, you tried drug rehab? Tried therapy? None of that worked? But WWASPS did? Okay so drug rehab is good at getting people off drugs, but it didn't deal with the emotional pain, and so you had him seeing a theripest? Did he like the person he was seeing, had this person dealt primarily with kids his age with drug problems?
I don't recommend any of those programs. I truely think they do more harm then good. He will say just about anything right now to get out of there, or to complete the program so he will look good in your eyes, and can come home.
It's amazing how some of us have never acted a day in our life, or maybe just flat out suck at lying, and we get put in that awful situation, and are able to act almost instantly. Because we know it could be a life or death situation. Or they make you really uncomfortable by making you hold these stress positions. Or they restrain you, which take it from me does not feel good! I won't even go into the mind games they play.
So right now you think WWASPS was a godsend? I will be intrested to see what happens when he gets out, and is faced with nightmarish thoughts of what he went through. Then when he can't make those thoughts go away, he will eventually start doing drugs again, because atleast being on Meth it was fun, and it caused him not to dwell on shit. Then when you are scratching your head going what the fuck happened, I thought he was cured? You'll understand what I am talking about. But, by that time that happens you've lost your son, there are no refunds, and basically you will feel like one big sucker like most parents do. So, then you will entertain the thought of getting a lawyer, maybe even go to meet with a couple? (BTW, I am sure they will have you bring along a copy of your enrollment agreement which basically is going to screw you, and not give you a leg to stand on). Then when they are sitting there listening to you, and probably judging you thinking your a total asshole for sending your child away, then and only then will they tell you that they cannot help you. Atleast they will if you are trying to get them to take the case on contingency. Hey, if you willing to shell out some money, they will be more then happy to take it, and tell you what you want to hear. Kinda like when WWASPS sold you on the program for your son, you bought it, and are still buying it. Whatever, if it was me, I would pull him immediatly.
wwasp dad:
i'm just curious, were you in a wwasp school?? if not,where are you getting your info
thanks, wwasp dad

Meth will still be available when he gets out, and his new 'tools' only work in a locked and isolated environment. Since he'll be at a disadvantage socially because of being in a controlled environment, drug use will likely continue and even likely get worse. WWASPS is not effective drug treatment, even they should of told you this.
