Latest Trollage from another forum, good for a hoot. Nice one, counselor! Stay clear of those gastrointestinal bugs out there...oh, I remember now...my step daughter said the counselors were portly fans of Scottish cuisine...they like to pig-down on bags of McDonald's in front of the drooling kids. I guess they know better than to eat the PV fare...

i was at P.V for a long time several years ago. they are harsh, they are not abusive.
Restraints only happen when people are hurting themselves or attack other people.
Nothing in my experience of over a year at the Village matched anything negative that has been posted.
I would without question be dead right now if I had not gone to P.V.
I went to MANY "nicer" treatment facilities and was spiraling out of control.
jails and institutions were taken care of...death was the only end left.
i am now a sober, healthy, productive member of society and i am forever grateful to the village and my staff for saving my life.
i have no affiliation with the village other than being an alumni. No one from the village put me up to this.
if any of you are reading this forum i would suggest attending an area support group or asking about the alumni retreat where there will be dozens of alumni who know what the village did for them. once you leave you can easily dissociate yourself from the program, but people who were there over a decade ago keep coming back because it is some place special.
i don't know anyone who completed treatment there who didn't love it in the end.
I do know people who didn't complete there treatment but love it just the same. I would encourage people reading this to question the validity of the majority of the outrageous statements made about the abuse, because in my experience they are entirely false.
"My staff"? WTF?
Yeah, the "dozens of alumni"...24 girls I call the "PV Porcine Patrol", the "Rah-Rah Restraint Girls", the "Choke-hold Cheerleaders" . One of them takes vacations with a senior clinician and his family...but I'm not implying they get perks or anything.
