"HIDDEN LAKE CONTRACTS WITH PSYCHIATRIST
(March 2005) Hidden Lake Academy, Dahlonega, GA, 800-394-0640, http://www.hiddenlakeacademy.com, announced that because of a growth in the number of students and their psychiatric needs, the program has expanded its psychiatric services by contracting with an additional psychiatrist, Consuelo M. Reddick, MD. She is on campus weekly to assist students with medication reviews, medical support and emergency on-call situations.

So much for the no-medication model. These peole will do whatever it takes to sell a parent. Meds, no meds, no court-ordered, court-ordered, therapy, no therapy, wilderness, no wilderness. It's gotta make you wonder how this place can cover both sides of every issue and be effective at all.
If they were politicians, we'd call them "scam artists."

"Upon enrollment, disclosure of any psychotropic medications a student is on must be declared in a written form. If a student is on psychotropic medications, they need to see a psychiatrist for medication management or to receive a weaning schedule. HLA has a ?no medication? policy and prefers to wean the students off psychotropic medications whenever possible. The structure that we provide enables most students to succeed without being medicated while at HLA. Our consulting Psychiatrist meets with students on a weekly basis."

Wow, 18 months sure seems like a long time to wean a kid off of their med's! :roll: But, I suppose having that as a policy makes them feel less like liars. That should be a table for manipulation...

Where in this statement does it say it takes 18 months to wean kids off of medications? I don't see that anywhere in that paragraph. Any doctor knows that when kids are on Ritalin or Paxil you can't enroll them in a school that prefers non-medicated students and suddenly take them off the drugs they have been on for months, possibly years. It is the safe thing to wean them off slowly over a period of weeks or several months. I believe you are reading what you want into the statement above and not what it actually says.

Actually, I was enrolled in HLA and almost immediately taken off of my ADD meds.
