« on: December 08, 2008, 12:28:11 AM »
the toll free number does not match the pfc site's number, but wtf? This was on a site for programs and this from a page on pfc. They are using lots and lots of websites to promote their program.  :flame:  :flame:  :flame:

also, the pdf pfc is circulating these days claims they have "Masters level therapists" and you can pay them $200 to assess your kid. 2 day turnaround on drug screens, etc etc. What the hell is a "Masters level therapist"?

The "qualifications" to call oneself a "therapist" are not very specific nor stringent, and vary from state to state. Some therapists do, however, have more qualifications than others, and there are various degrees floating around that would fit that ticket.

Some are more along the lines of specific certification (with relatively brief, and very targeted instruction), some are Master's Degrees (more schooling, generalized as well as specific instruction), and some are even PhD's (lots more schooling).

Do they include more than just PFC clients in that count? Like, KHK, maybe even Straight, Inc.? No clue...but the figure seems high.

It might help to have the original link.

Because if they ARE using numbers from those other programs, there is proof of a self confessed inter program link.

If they are not, and the numbers are just too high, then it is false advertising.

Try doing some documenting in addition to your observing.

the toll free number is different than the pfc toll free number, so it makes sense that the 200,000 figger came from the referrer folks and not pfc, but here's the link nevertheless: http://www.usnodrugs.com/Indiana/Indian ... ily_Center
The least they could have done is to put that bs in a 'cover page' type format and not right in there with the pfc bs. either way, lots of program info for the curious minded individuals out there.

Yup, couldn't agree more about the cover letter idea. At least put the referer info clearly separate from all the drug rehabs listed. Other rehabs also note the 200,000 figure so it is obviously the referer. oh well. Got curious and checked Pathway site but they don't say how many "saved", huh.

btw, that company could also read as "United States nitrous oxide drugs"  :D
I guess they didn't think THAT one through.
