As someone who has been through THREE residentials and known people DIRECTLY from Discovery Ranch, I don't think people realize how traumatizing and sick residential/outpatient/impatient therapy programs can be. I would be crying as well and I DID when I found out I was going to one. Its not just about "The program not dealing with tantrums" and its not just about "not having your phone". It is scary and terrifying and one of the worst experiences I went through. All I see is a scared girl who doesn't know what she wants, or if she wants life. I can understand how she feels and I can only feel empathy and pray she recovers after going there.

Many of these programs operate with no oversight, and the abuse is rampant. And when the abuse happens, and the kids try to tell their parents (if the program doesn’t manage to stop them), the program denies it and the parents believe them because the kid is there because they’re “troubled”. The programs then punish the kids for telling.

Poor girl, she was only 15 when she was institutionalized against her will into the trouble teen industry she was only 15 and wanted to live a normal teenage life. I don’t blame her parents for this they didn’t know how bad it was, and even know Madison, the old us, disrespected her parents and told them to go die. She still didn’t deserve to go for that and I think that’s unfair. She had to go for it.

Hey I’ve been inpatient at center for discovery, it was terrible but it really helped me recover from anorexia. When you are this bad residential therapy is the only option

[@microfox7]

I went to the Stamford CT location, and it was horrendous. Words cannot even explain how bad this place was. Long story short, my therapist broke the confidentiality agreement, and lied to me and my family. The owner of the place also was replaced.

CFD was always kind, caring, supportive, and amazing to me. I went there for my eating disorder.

[@shaniathomas8187]

Like dogs

[@wifeymommy4242]

@@shaniathomas8187 girl i think its worse than dogs, its ashame these kids need real guidance and counseling. All they are doing is making it worse than it is. My grandmother was full bloodied cherokee she always told us, you can raise a child the best way you know how but the child is gonna do what they want. I never really paid any attention to it until she passed and she raised my cousin and me and his best friend. When we loss her my cousin and his best friend went down hill quick it didn't matter what drugs they had to find they would and my cousin is still in prison his best friend has been clean for 6 years with two boys, we share time with my cousins kids. I had the kids for two years and then the court told us it would be better for the grandparent to have the kids but we still get the kids every other weekend. I grew up with them two and I've tried everything i could to help them and it felt like i was being used so i had to cut them off they are older than me and i had to hold it together for the kids. But it seems it don't matter how you get raised your gonna turn out however you go through life. I hope these kids that's been to these places are okay and I hope the ranch and other facilities have to answer for what they did and Dr Phil he knew what was going on he had to.💜

@@kanyedidntmaketaylorfamous something must be going on at all the places Dr Phil sends kids because now hes not sending them anywhere.

No not all places are like turnabout but now everywhere he has sent teens to is gonna be looked in to its sad.

Center For Discovery isn't abusive though. I've been to other mental health places that were abusive. I went to CFD a few years later and was discharged two years ago after battling an eating disorder.

[@fujimi715]

Oh no! How dare someone not want to be kidnapped and locked in a program to be abused!

[@hutaaga]

I feel sad how too many teenagers are having issues now, many are also selfish and disrespectful. I notice that 0-8 years old are the best ages to shape your children. We may need to invest most of our times in those years. Selfless, humility, respect, kindness, compassions, hard-works, some of the basic things you could load them up with.

[@livjames8624]

Abusive programs only make things worse. Dr Phil is the last person you should be praising. Go find a real doctor to preach

[@SellyNue]

Actually data shows that you have until 5 year old to shape and influence and "have the heart" of your child.

The type of people who idolise a man who identifies as a doctor who exploits people's issues for profit. The type of people who are ok putting their kids lives in the hands of total strangers who have a deal with Dr Phil who also profit from vulnerable kids to keep their facilities running and in business run by old people with no 3rd party monitoring.

These parents needed to grow a pair, years ago, then maybe their kids wouldn't be whiney brats. If you allow bad behavior when they are young, this is what you get when they're older. You can't be a pushover as a parent.
