Explaining a little more about the difference
SO, Ive gotten a few responses back and I'm glad. ANd you know what I'm sorry for calling you guys whiners, I've heard how horrible Straight and Kids and the Seed were but I don't sit here pretending to know all about it, because honestly I don't know, ANd I guess that is what frustrates me so much, I just feel like everybody who had some tramatic experiences in these other treatment centers are bashing AARC and I don't feel it is right. to answer some of your questions No our peers didn't cover our mouths, no we were not denied the right to go to the bathroom when we needed to, no we were not pinned down for hours without the ability to get up and get a drink or move, and I can tell you that if someone was slashing their wrists in AARC that person would not be screamed at for hours and be told their weak, that person would get help, because obviously it takes alot of pain to slach your wrists. I really belive in AARC and I wouldn't defend something that I knew didn't work. Like I said I don't have nightmares, I don't have built up rage inside of me towards aarc. I live a very happy and serenity filled life. And I thank god for aarc helping me get to this point.
