Even things that seem helpful can be destructive if implemented in the wrong way, if those ideas are taken to unreasonable extremes.
Straight Incorporated, an adolescent drug rehabilitation program, once had the backing of influential figures like Nancy Reagan and George H. W. Bush. But what really went on behind the closed doors of this seemingly helpful institution? In this episode of 'Surviving Straight Inc.', host Christine Flannery pulls back the curtain on the dark and destructive tactics hidden beneath Straight's benign facade.
Using an actual brochure from the Cincinnati Straight program in 1984, Christine breaks down the so-called 'treatment model' that was supposed to help troubled teens. Instead, it often left them with deep psychological scars. The episode sheds light on how positive peer pressure and confrontational methods were taken to dangerous extremes. Imagine being supervised by your peers, with untrained teenagers playing the role of counselors. It's a chilling reality that many survivors had to endure.
This episode doesn't just recount horror stories; it digs into the internal injuries inflicted by a program designed to strip kids of their identities and rebuild them in its own image. By listening to these poignant survivor accounts, you'll gain a sobering understanding of the real impact of Straight Inc.'s practices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the long-term effects of controversial rehabilitation programs.
