"no chains on my feet,
but i'm not free
trapped at hla i'm destined to be"
-Found a wall in the study dungeon
i went to hla at the tender age of fourteen.
i grew up there. it sux. period. it is a horrible facility that will destroy the person your child will one day become. it uses a one size fits all approach that cuts people off at the knees. people i considered friends began cutting becasue of the stress hla caused. trust me. hla casues more problems than it fixes.

I went to HLA and graduated. As a response to the question about restraining...they definitely restrain kids whether they say they do or don't and I have personally witnessed this multiple times. The part that was most difficult about HLA was the last few months before graduating when you're finally doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing, they invent therapeutic problems. Example being, I had a disagreement with my parents, which happens afterall I am a teenager, and my counselors told me that they were disappointed and I was falling back into my old patterns. By the way I was sent there for an eating disorder, so that statement was completely out of the blue. This place does NOT work for most people and the experience overall was a living hell. I feel bad for those students that have to stay there :sad:
Deborah:
How was your 'eating disorder' addressed?
Did you have counseling specific to that issue, or the standard one-size-fits-all therapy?
How was the food there?
Yes, my son too complain of being accused of 'falling back into old patterns' that never existed or that weren't 'problems'.
I mean, do they really think that it's healthy to never have disagreements?
