Haven't been up to Daytop in a while, but I do see the vans full of druggies going down the parkway a few times a week...

You can call their intake facility in Far Rockaway or the family assocation at their main headquarters at 54 W. 40 ST in NYC for information. Between the entry unit and orientation in upstate treatment it should take him about 60-90 days to get writing priveledges.

You were right on, Odie. He got phone privilages after 82 days. He said you have to get authorization for just walking. And writing privilages. He said there's people in there getting out of prisons for felonys, murder, rape... bad a**'s. He said he's been just playing it low key, doing what they want. He can't wait to get out... we're gonna take a vacation. I felt so sorry for him, it's like he's doing time, not being "rehabilitated." Whatever that means. He just got into a mess he couldn't get out of w/DUI's, so instead of going to jail, this was the alternative. It's so sad, really. Do these places help? I think they set you straight about making sure when you drink or get high, you do it at home and take all precausions not to get busted and end up in the "system."

Well one thing peculiar about programs like Daytop is how they come to the decision to put a person in long term residential treatment to begin with. Do they follow ASAM criteria or do they just throw anyone in just because they need to fill a bed and oh yeah...fill their pockets with more state monies. I think its the latter. I don't see how someone with a few DWI's fits that criteria if thev'e never been in any other counseling at all. I wonder if any state regulatory authorities have ever really taken a good close look at Daytop to see if they are treating legitamate substance abusers or are they just taking anyone to fill their beds.
