"Did this study do any comparative studies, matching these kids up against kids with similar issues who received no help. That is where you will find value of a program. You have to compare kids that need treatment and don't get it, to kids who need treatment and do get it. Otherwise you are not viewing the situation clearly."

You are ridiculous. Here is a study that shows MORE THAN 50% of patients that receive RTC treatment recidivate. Their numbers show 75%!
The question is not RTC kids vs. untreated kids, IT'S RTC KIDS vs. OUTPATIENT TREATMENT (the appropriate tx for kids capable of functioning at a boarding school).
READ THE STUDY. Outpatient tx is effective and costs very little, RTC tx is ineffective or even DAMAGING and is $7000.00/mo.
Even your fancy $7000.00/mo brand of RTC is many times less effective than standard outpatient, community-based tx.

Your marketing materials should be required to bear this warning.

True. But since HLA is a RTC they would appear to fall under the same standards.
Anonymous:
No. If HLA were an RTC the state would require them to be licensed as one. Being that the state does not require that, they are not an RTC. If you want to argue with the state that is fine. They have seen the school, many times, and have claimed it not to be an RTC.
RobertBruce:
Oh but we've proven that HLA lies to the state regarding their purpose. Its not hard to dress up and pretend and when the state comes around to take a look.
HLA is a RTC or a theraputic boarding school. Either way they are avoiding state regulations. They do lie to the state and claim they are a traditional boarding school yet advertise differently. This has been proven time and again.
Would you like to try and refute this?
