Since 1976 when she was one of ten founding members of Straight, Inc., Ms. Sembler has dedicated her time to fighting the war on drugs. She is founder and president of S.O.S., Save Our Society from Drugs whose mission is to defeat efforts to legalize Schedule 1 drugs

Betty Sembler is the wife of the founder (and I think a co-founder herself) of Straight Inc., one of the most abusive "rehabs" ever inflicted on kids.
In *every* state in which they operated,there were allegations of abuse-- almost all of them later discovered to be accurate. They battled regulators and prosecutors in every state in which they opened.
They used sleep deprivation, food deprivation, restraints done by other clients in which the person would be thrown to the floor with one person holding each limb and another covering the mouth and restricting breathing, force-feeding and attack therapy and were consistently convicted of holding clients against their will when they were over age.
Kids of North Jersey was run under same set up by their former clinical director, Miller Newton-- he and the so-called doctors who helped him run the scam recently had to pay out $6.4 million to a girl who was held there for over 12 years and had never touched a drug in her life. Prior to that, he had to pay $4.5 mil to a girl who had bipolar disorder which unsurprisingly got worse due to their "treatment."

This is an example of the entire reason why I think it's important to get this issue into the public debate.
How many tax payors would tolerate their hard earned money being spent to propagate this cult if they knew the whole story?
My guess? None. Well, except for current cult memnbers.
To make certain that crime does not pay, the government should take it
over and try to run it
