Did you work with licensed therapists? And I’m not trying to stir up trouble…but if you are living in the wilderness, what in the world is the $600-$700 per day used for? This sounds sketchy to me. And did you have a safe place to sleep? I’m so confused why anyone would spend this kind of money on a wilderness addiction/troubled-teen recovery program. How many kids were with you? Did the program staff stay with you all too? This is just bizarre to me! Hope it wasn’t bad for you, but I just have so many questions on the validity of this!

I believe you. I have read into the issues with these types of programs…and I just find the whole thing appalling. I’m sorry you had to go through this…and I am proud of you for trying to get the word out about it.

Thank you for your response. It sounds like the program that you were a part of was legitimate and therapeutic. Thankfully! Unfortunately, I have also heard of others that cause more harm than good. Sounds like OP may have been in one that was not helpful…and possibly hurtful to them.
