[quote=Anonymous]To the PP above.  I hope going AMA does not get you in trouble with the courts.

That said, it is almost a joke that you say you left  AMA--against medical advice.  There is nothing medical about Caron Renaissance. Perhaps you can enlist a psychiatrist who is willing to say the program was damaging and you can enroll in a local outpatient rehab to satisfy the courts.

Alternatively, if your problem was opiates or alcohol, the courts may be willing to accept medically supervised Vivitrol with regular attendance at NA or the like.

People have many paths to drug dependency.  Caron Renaissance treats it as though it is only through one way--moral failings combined with a dysfunctional family.  The latter is how they guilt parents into paying for their over-priced half way house program.

Caron is one of the few treatment places that are not for profit.  However, they are known for doing research on family wealth--if they think the family can afford Renaissance, that is what they recommend after the Caron program in Pennsyllvania.

In this case you are better off not being rich--the middle class people who rely on insurance to pay the first 30 days of treatment get other recommendations like much cheaper half way houses, the vast majority of which do not employ the degrading tough love tactics of Caron.

I also suggest you post a review of Caron on The Fix--that is the most comprehensive site I know of for rating rehabs.[/quote]
