FRANK LANZA
Anonymous:
Frank Lanza saved many lives. Daytop Village is and continues to be a business...shocking. However, Frank saved many people. For your morons who can't stand him (alive or dead)....maybe he was hip to your garbage. Frank didn't take crap....and it was his j-o-b to run a facility. Look in the mirror and oh by the way....people who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones. God rest his soul and the thousands he helped.

And what about the the thousands that he totally fucked with? I wonder how many of them suffer from PTSD today as a direct result of his abusive ways? What possible theraputic value does the humiliation of people have to do recovering from an addiction? He and others like him could never get a job outside of Daytop, they lack the education and credentials to work anywhere else. And by credentials I don't mean the one that they all conveniently grandfathered into, I'd love to see the results of them trying to actually pass the national test for substance abuse counselors.

Frank Lanza was an abusive, obstreperous, hurtful Daytop sycophant.
Where he is now is the best place for him.
I knew him personally and he was not a good man, no matter how you junkies spin it.

I also knew Frank to be somewhat hardcore but he mellowed as time went on. The trouble with Frank and a lot of the oldtimers was they were and are out of touch with reality. What may have worked for them 30-40 years ago definately has no place in the substance abuse field today. But they are stuck in the mindset that worked for them must work for everyone. As far as " Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", my foundation is solid today not crumbling like it was in my years at Daytop. And anybody who had a good experience at Dasytop hey more power to you but I'm not going to sit in a dark room with a paper bag over my head anymore and hide. If anybody wants to deny that abuse happened at Daytop I say to them point blank..You're full of shit!
Hands that help are far better then lips that pray.

Here, here! Kudos to the gentleman for speaking the objective truth.
Can you relate some events you witnessed to help readers understand Daytop a little more clearly?
