Unfortunately they have made their homepage in a way which makes it impossible for me to copy paste the text into google translate so I am unable to understand what they state about education and treatment on their website.

Based on a computer analyze of the photo on their webpage, the campus should be located here.

Site uses a scrolling quote from Aristotle, who is famous for discussing Nicomachean ethics where the belief that young should be governed by laws is established.  File that one for the Thought Reform forum.

Not really seeing anything particularly remarkable but I can manage an ok translation (paw around with my knowledge of Latin and French.)  It has all the goody-goody schlock one would expect with these scams.  Has a primary focus on drugs - or rather imagines itself as having a solution for every problem under the sun by blaming the consumption of drugs.

We have located a name: Juan Carlos Ferreyra

It seems that he had been at Elan in the United States years back. I was surprised that we had an old entry of this program on Fornits Wiki, but Paulu made this one April 2009. Here is an old thread on Fornits

Here is an article:

Una exclusiva comunidad para tratar adicciones

A 180 kilómetros de la Capital Federal, Ibicuy ocupa un lugar de privilegio ante el vacío de instituciones que no sean hospitales ni clínicas. “Trabajamos en enseñarle a los pacientes que hay otras maneras de obtener placer y proveerle herramientas para que tomen el control de su vida”, dijo su director a Infobae.com
“Yo pasé por este tratamiento en los EEUU, en 1983, y me di cuenta que no había en la Argentina este tipo de comunidad”. Así, en primera persona, contó a Infobae.com

Juan Carlos Ferreyra los inicios de Ibicuy.

El director de la institución que se plantea como “una alternativa de solución eficaz a problemas de comportamiento serios en jóvenes y adolescentes, generalmente asociados al consumo de drogas” –tal como reza la página web del lugar- contó que a la comunidad ubicada en Villa Paranacito (Entre Ríos) llegan “casos que ya hicieron, sin éxito, tratamiento en otros lugares”.

“Trabajamos en la raíz del problema, para nosotros no basta tener a una persona en un lugar sin que se drogue. Hay que enseñarle otras maneras de obtener placer y demostrarle que hay actitudes de vida que hacen que tome el control de sus actos”, aseguró Ferreyra, quien remarcó que el programa que allí utilizan “recrea ejercicios y experiencias que hacen que la persona sea responsable, dado que una de las características del adicto es que cree que no es responsable de lo que le pasa”.


Según el director de la entidad, “la adicción no se trata. Lo que sí se trata es que la persona adquiera el grado de responsabilidad para tomar decisiones que no sean autodestructivas, ya que en la vida siempre se va a encontrar con problemas”.

“Todos quieren que su hijo no se drogue, pero lo que no saben es que el problema empezó antes de que se drogue”, destacó.

Acerca de qué adicciones son las que en Ibicuy tratan, Ferreyra destacó que “drogas, alcohol, bulimia, anorexia, todas las conductas que derivan en adicciones y por distintas razones el paciente llega a ese punto de salida, de evasión”.

“No siempre es necesario contar con la aprobación voluntaria del paciente para iniciar la recuperación. En menores de edad, por ejemplo, alcanza con la autorización de los padres”, destacó el director, y subrayó: “La experiencia demuestra que aquellos que ingresan contra su voluntad tienen casi las mismas posibilidades de recuperación de quienes acuden por propia determinación”.

En la entidad –según palabras de su director- parten de la premisa de que “el vínculo que trae el paciente con la familia es enfermizo” y que “hay que romperlo y empezar desde otro lado”.

Es por eso que el tema de las visitas lo tratan “de manera terapéutica”: “Como en general no valoran (los pacientes) el vínculo con sus familiares, entonces restringimos las visitas para que lo aprecien. Mientras, las familias también se involucran en el tratamiento, en la dependencia de Ibicuy de la Capital Federal”.

A modo de conclusión, Ferreyra enfatizó que debe hacerse hincapié “en la raíz del problema y no cuando el síntoma está instalado”.

“De los que terminan el tratamiento, 8 de cada 10 están bien (los otros dos reinciden y a veces necesitan una re internación, generalmente a causa de problemas familiares que el grupo no quiere cambiar)”, sintetizó Ferreyra, quien destacó que terminan siete de cada 10 ingresados.
 
El método
Implementado por un equipo médico que integran psiquiatras, psicólogos, médicos clínicos y enfermeros, “el programa está organizado de manera tal de provocar una crisis ya que detrás de la crisis está el cambio. El programa genera las crisis y las resuelve en el propio ámbito”, según explicó Ferreyra.
“Desde el ingreso, cada residente es evaluado por un psicólogo, que establece su diagnóstico inicial y, a partir de entonces, va efectuando sucesivos test de progreso, hasta determinar el alta”, detalla la web de Ibicuy.

Así, la actividad de los residentes está organizada en departamentos de cocina, mantenimiento, seguridad, comercial y comunicaciones. “El residente nuevo comienza siendo un trabajador común y gradualmente asume cargos de mayor responsabilidad. Luego supervisa a otros ‘trabajadores’ y puede convertirse en jefe de departamento, aprendiz de coordinador y por último coordinador”.

An exclusive community to treat addiction

180 kilometers from Buenos Aires, Ibicuy occupies a privileged place at the emptiness of institutions other than hospitals or clinics. "We work on teaching patients that there are other ways to get pleasure and provide tools to take control of your life, "said its director Infobae.com

"I went through this treatment in the U.S., in 1983, and I realized that there was in Argentina this type of community." Thus, in first person, told Juan Carlos Ferreyra Infobae.com the early Ibicuy.

The director of the institution that is promoted as "an effective alternative solution to serious behavioral problems in youths and adolescents, usually associated with drug use," as it says the website of the place, told the community located in Villa Paranacito (Entre Rios) reach "cases that were unsuccessfully treated elsewhere."

"We work at the root of the problem, not enough for us to have a person in a place without drogue. You have to teach other ways to get pleasure and show that there are attitudes that make life take control of their actions, "said Ferreyra, who stressed that the program used there" recreates exercises and experiences that the person is responsible, since one of the characteristics of the addict is that he believes is not responsible for what happens. "

According to the director of the entity, "addiction is not. What I question is that the person acquires the degree of responsibility to make decisions that are not self-destructive, and that life is always going to find problems. "

"Everyone wants their child is not drugged, but I do not know is that the problem started before the drogue" he said.

About what addictions are treated in Ibicuy, Ferreyra said that "drugs, alcohol, bulimia, anorexia, all behaviors that lead to addictions and for various reasons the patient arrives at the exit point of evasion."

"It is not always necessary to have the patient's voluntary approval to start the recovery. Minors, for example, achieved with parental consent," the director, and said:

"Experience shows that those entering from His will have almost the same chances of recovery of those who come on their own determination. "

In the entity-in the words of its director-start from the premise that "the link that brings the patient to the family is sick" and that "we must break it and start from the other side."

That's why the theme of the visits they treat "so therapeutic": "As in general do not value (patients) the link with family, then restrict the visitors to appreciate it. Meanwhile, families are also involved in treatment, Ibicuy dependence of the Federal Capital. "

In conclusion, Ferreyra stressed that emphasis should be placed "at the root of the problem and not when the sign is installed."

"Of those who complete treatment, 8 out of 10 are good (the other two re-offend and sometimes need a re admission, usually because of family problems that the group does not change)," summarized Ferreyra, who stressed that ending seven every 10 admitted.
 
The method

Implemented by a medical team comprising psychiatrists, psychologists, clinicians and nurses, "the program is organized so as to provoke a crisis because the crisis is behind the change. The program generates and resolve crises in their own area, "Ferreyra explained.

"From the entrance, each resident is evaluated by a psychologist, which sets the initial diagnosis and, thereafter, is making progress successive tests to determine high," explains the Web Ibicuy.

Thus, the activity of the residents is organized into departments of kitchen, maintenance, security, trade and communications. "The new resident begins as a common laborer and gradually assume positions of greater responsibility. Then supervises other 'workers' and can become head of department, apprentice coordinator and finally coordinator ".
