Why Do “Drug Rehab” Cults Continue to Thrive Despite Their Many Documented Cases of Abuse?
Why do cults that follow the STRAIGHT INC model continue to exist? STRAIGHT finally got shut down in 1993 but not until HUNDREDS of cases of abuse became documented. Even so, many of the STRAIGHT clinics simply changed their names and continued to abuse the teens held captive there. Verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sleep deprivation, forced separation from parents, kidnappings, and false imprisonment are just a few of the many crimes that all STRAIGHT based cults are charged with. Many have been shut down but why do they continue to exist??

Desperate parents that don’t realize the cure is worse than the disease. People abuse drugs and alcohol for a reason in their life. Sure, some people experiment with drugs and get addicted…but that is actually a very low percentage of users.
The vast majority of people who habitually abuse, do it because of life problems, stress etc., The parents who send their kids to these “freak shows” don’t or won’t acknowledge the problems that drove the person to do the drugs. There is always a reason behind heavy drug abuse. I’m not talking about the vast majority who indulge every now and then, I’m talking about real hardcore.
Of course many mothers and fathers shake their head at drug use, while popping sleeping pills, vodka, and pain killers.
As with all things, lead by example…or get out of the picture. ;)
