[quote=Anonymous]The rehab industry is exceptionally scammy.

This includes big name places like Caron.  They say they do dual diagnosis, but apart from a psychiatric intake at the beginning there is absolutely no mental health care.  As in 99% of the so-called dual diagnosis places, they believe that any mental health problems are caused solely by drug/alcohol use.  Evidently they have not heard of self-medication.

When they couldn't handle my child they took them to a mental health hospital different from the one we agreed to. The Caron car taking my child arrived after sunset.  When no one answered the door, they just left my child there to spend the night outside.  There was snow on the ground.

I became frantic when I hadn't heard and called repeatedly.  They assured me I couldn't speak to my child because they were on the way to the hospital. (When in fact they had dropped them there the day before.) It took me two days to locate my child at a mental health hospital that ERs send homeless people to when they are a danger to themselves or others.

My child was at Caron for less than a week and, yes, I regret it.

We then did DIY rehab.  Child is doing well and is now in a professional graduate program.[/quote]
