Blake's Harrowing Journey: The Dark Side of The Insight Program
Blake's experience is brutal, and unfortunately we have heard so many stories just like hers. This is not the exception, it is the rule.
What happens when a recovery program becomes a source of trauma instead of healing? In this episode of 'On the Emmis', Liz and Jacqueline sit down with Blake, a survivor of The Insight Program in Greensboro, North Carolina. Blake's story is a stark reminder of how recovery programs can sometimes do more harm than good.
The Insight Program, part of the Enthusiastic Sobriety network, is notorious for its harsh policies, including taking clients off mental health medications abruptly and promoting a twisted philosophy of 'No victims, only volunteers'. Blake recounts her experience with the infamous 'Let Go, Let God' day in outpatient treatment, shedding light on the emotional and psychological toll it took on her. Unfortunately, Blake's story is not unique; it reflects a troubling pattern seen in many such programs.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the darker aspects of the Troubled Teen Industry and the urgent need for reform. Join Liz and Jacqueline as they amplify Blake's voice and advocate for change.
