"Parents Helping Teens"

Anybody know anything about this program? A fellow member of an ADHD forum has sent a child there, and I am a bit worried.

They seem to have very little info on their web site, but the info there looks ominous. Anyone who knows more, please speak up... thanks.

Uhh... Yeah, sorry, the above was my post.

If you go to the web site and watch the video, beware; it could be triggery for some of you.

Here's the forum post in which the program was mentioned:

My son started stealing and when I asked where things were coming from, he lied about it.  Not until he got into a residential treatment program and sent me a confession letter did I know how bad the problem was.  He said the first time he got away with stealing he felt invinceable and it was such a rush every time he stole something.  Then it would have to be something more valuable, or harder to steal to get the rush.  It was truly an addiction for him.  Getting away with lying to me about it was also very satisfying to him.  He felt very powerful.  Scary stuff.  I am so thankful for his program.  It is doing wonders!!   I have links on my website if you are intersted.  http://ellen.parentshelpingteens.com

EDIT:

Okay: Here's some more info.

Wellen, the person who posted the above post, has posted fourteen times on the forum. Every single one of her posts advertises the program.

Here is a search of the forum, with all the threads with her posts in it:

Lovely. I wonder if I could find a way to get her off the forum? She's obviously just there to advertise.
