18+ YSK: The "Troubled Teen" industry that was big in the 90's and 2000's was not only a complete sham, but was (and STILL is) horrifically abusive and traumatic. ( en.wikipedia.org )

Marked NSFW for a number of reasons - potentially triggering to anyone who's been through this or something similar. Supplemental links contain some very dark, horrifying accounts....

I was sent to a series of the ‘better’ programs—i.e., the ones without deaths attached to them. It took a decade of therapy to deal with the worst of the trauma and I still experience PTSD episodes several times each year. It’s astounding how these facilities carry on functioning with merely a name change. There’s almost no regulation, let alone patient rights. My first program was truly one of the better ones and they had patient rights information posted through the facility and hard copies provided in your welcome packet. When I was sent to my second program (wilderness), I asked what my patient rights were. I received dumbfounded stares followed by laughter.
