“As someone who has been through the adolescent residential treatment system I want to thank you for bringing awareness to this issue. More people need to know what goes on in these places. Though my experience was not nearly as extreme as the stories shared in this podcast, I can attest to the lack of quality care and oversight in these places. They are for profit businesses that have little regard for treatment outcomes. Most do not use evidence based therapy and employ undertrained and unpaid staff. It sickens me how these places profit off of some the most vulnerable and powerless people in our society. So thank you for your reporting. It really means a lot”
