[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that TRAILS is not a wrap around therapeutic environment.  WT is designed to take a child out of their current environment and help them and the families examine how each party contributes to the dysfunction.  It removes the distractions of 21st century life.  People are forced to endure natural consequences.  If you choose not to put up your tent and it rains, you will get wet.

When people graduate from WT, they usually move onto TBS where they are able to solidify what they've learned in WT while applying it more to real world life.

50 inspection deficiencies over 9 years is not a lot.  Hospitals get deficiencies all the time.

This article highlights one childs experience.  It's her perspective and her observations.  Would the child have gone willing to get help if the family did not use transportation services?  Why was only one family reported on?  Where are the interviews of families that have had other experiences with WT?

Did you miss the part where the child ran away and die?  TRAILS is no place for a mentally ill or addicted teenager.  50 in 9 years for a small program is  lot. What's the ratio of deficiencies per child?[/quote]
