First,one has to ask,was an actual drug addiction being treated?
Straight knew that most of their clients were not drug addicts.So,why were we being treated like drug addicts if we weren't(ethical question)?How was this going to benefit my future well-being in any capacity?It's like trying to treat athlete's foot or menstrual cramps with chemotherapy.No good can come of it and only bad that would not have normally been there will arise.The only positive message I got from Straight was I didn't need substances to enjoy myself.For that tidbit of info,I got a 16 1/2 month mindfuck which I'm still dealing with.If a real drug addiction is in play,serious intervention by qualified,serious professionals in needed.Straight and their loony squad was not that place.Drug addictions are serious matters,not to be taken lightly,but leaving your child in the care of a Helen Petermann or a Miller Newton is not even an option.
