Well I can tell you this, my b/f said there's all kinds of characters in there, including hard core inmates getting out of prison. He said it's the most obserd thing he's ever been through, but he's convinced the system will put him in jail if he doesn't complete the year "sentenance." I know it's not doing him any good, just taking a year of his life and putting him on hold. I'd like to know who comes out of this better? They monitored his calls and I think he said something wrong because I haven't heard from him in 2 wks... I wonder if they listened in, or if someone told them what he said he thought of the place. Scary.

The next time you speak to your boyfriend make sure he signs a release of confidentiality so you can speak with his counselor if you ever have questions or haven't heard from him in awhile. This way they can't stonewall you when you try to find out any info.
If TCs were interested in treating substance abuse, half the time they'd tell mom "Sorry ma'am, we can't help him. He's not an addict, he's just an asshole.

I can tell you for a fact that these types are at Daytop. When I worked there, a kid (18yo) in my group just up and confessed to killing another boy over a drug deal.
I reported this to my director (Frank Lanza) and his response was "Don't say anything, just try to work with him. If we tell the court they'll pull him and we'll have an empty bed. We can't afford empty beds."

How nice that these places respect human dignity the rules of law....not. But for all you know, it could have been a group confession that has no basis in fact, just made up as a means to protect oneself or deflect attention.
Money-grubbing bastards with no respect for human rights.

This actually turned out to be legit. Of course, my code of ethics prevented me from heeding the director's order. I had to report to police BY LAW.
The kid ended up being arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder.
That is sad in and of itself, but it's even sadder that people would overlook a dangerous violent felony to keep an ass in a chair...
